> 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.
