* Navigate from Individual Record to Family Record

How can I easily bring up the family record for a particular person (and a particular spouse).

For example, if I'm researching "Ann Gee", who was married to Edward Hanson, I might be on the Focus Window:

or on the Individual Record window

what is the quickest way to get to the Family Record window for Ann and Edward (i.e. without going to the Records Windows > Familes tab > search)?

Double click on the line between the father and the children in the focus window.

Bill's method is the easiest if the Focus Window is displayed.

Alternatively, from the Individual Property Box, open the All tab, and double-click on the spouse name to right of Spouse family item near bottom of list.

I knew there had to be a way!

Both of those solutions work great... thanks!!

Just to add a third way, you can use the "View>Record Links" to see all the Family and Individual records which are linked, which includes people linked as Witnesses.

And of course a fourth way is the Where Used Record Links Plugin that will provide a Result Set of similar links that is more comprehensive and offers more convenient navigation to the records.

It also works a multiple selection of Individual records.
