In Persons table you can use search and navigation, sorting, filters. The table can be saved and printed out. You can also get statistics.
Besides, it allows to create, edit and delete a person, to get information about a person, build a family tree and a lineage list.
The menu Create
allows to create a new person related to the active person:
Father
and Mother
are active only if they haven't been created for the current (active) person yet. Brother
and Sister
are active only if the active person has a mother or a father (or both). A person of unknown sex cannot have a child, even an adopted one.
Attention! Actions in Create
menu lead to the creation of a new person.
To create a connection between the selected person and one of the previously created persons, you need to use the abilities of the person editing window. In the person editing window, create or edit an appropriate event, for example, for a divorced partner create a “Divorce” event, add the “Ex-wife” role and specify the appropriate woman by selecting her from the table. To specify parents from already created persons: in the person editing window, click “Father: not specified” and select a man from the table.
If a couple has a child, then program will suggest the child's father as a husband when creating a husband to a woman. It works similar with creating a wife - when a couple has a common child, it is possible to choose an existing woman (child's mother) instead of creating a new wife.
