Family Historian User Group

Simon,
It is very satisfying to know that there is such a high level of support for Family Historian.
Thank you.

Jane, First, sorry I did not post my previous message but sent it to you direct. FH never ceases to amaze me with its flexibility, there seems to be a way to do almost anything.

There is no need to use proxies make the diagram easier to follow as the boxes are ...

Thanks Jane for your feedback. As you say, the Hourglass chart is simpler and avoids the proxy box problem. You guessed right that there are no siblings. It is somewhat difficult to describe the all relatives chart and the box positions. If I could send you the chart in question you would understand...

I have been familiarising myself with the All Relatives diagram and find a lot of 'Proxy boxes' are used. I understand that they are there so that the diagram is easier to follow, no long lines to trace across the boxes. However there are Proxy boxes where there seems to be no need for them and I am...

Thanks for that. There is always something to learn about Windows!
