Hello all,
I'm after thoughts and advice, any suggestions would be lovely.
I'm currently writing a family book. I'm doing it on microsoft word, i have figured out all my chapters, information, bibliography and picture sources, sourced photos and records etc.
I have two design issues i need help with:
1) the family tree itself. I'm not liking any of the programmes showing the family tree. Can anyone suggest some formats they like? Or should i hand draw them? I'm after one that would show 5-7 generations, the family pre emmigration.
2) my other problem is the descendants. I don't know how to do the lists in an easy to understand way. Each chapter i want to be accompanied with the chart of that person's descendants. I want it to be easy to understand. It would be names, dates and possibly a small paragraph about individuals.
Any ideas are welcome.
Regards
