Hi Gill
Any good genealogy package will allow you to chart family descendants, but
The Master Genealogist allows notes, links to word processing documents for
excessive notes and also accommodates very large families (I have many with
10+ children), as well as divorces, remarriages, etc. It is available from
the following website.
www.whollygenes.com/ (US)
or
http://www.twrcomputing.co.uk (UK)
I use the gold version but there is also a silver version, although I'm not
too sure what this version delivers.
Hope this helps. Good luck
Angie

Subject: [LOCAL-HISTORY] Charting families
Any ideas on this would be welcome. In the course of research (mainly into
18th-c business networking, but other things too), from time to time I try
to chart generations of families - usually with the focus on descendants of
an individual, rather than working backwards into their ancestry. Most of
the free software advertised online is aimed
(understandably) at people tracking their own ancestors. Can anyone
recommend a template which would work with large numbers of offspring, and
which has capacity to record plenty of information: occupations, places,
dates of marriages etc etc? I suppose this is the opposite of a family tree.
The days of scribbles on rolls of wallpaper must be over, surely.
Gill
