   Compact Family Tree   
   09 Feb 19 16:28:55   
   
   From: Billaboard@gmail.com   
      
   Inspired by the thread "Uploading Family tree for scrutiny by family",   
   can I ask for any suggestions, please.   
      
   A relation in the USA wants to swap data with me. She is on paper, I   
   have loaded some data into My Heritage. I am on Windows, she does have   
   some sort of Mac laptop.   
      
   Is there any software, preferably free, that will take a Gencom file and   
   show and print a very compact basic tree, with individual entries being   
   clickable to bring up an information sheet  about that individual.   
      
   I have played a bit with free versions of various programs and have used   
   "Family Tree Builder", "WikiTree" and "Ancestral Quest"  and downloaded   
   about 7 other utilities to try, but without so far finding anything that   
   displays in the way that I had hoped.   
      
   The programs I have tried mainly produce a screen with a few large   
   boxes. I would prefer just to have a scrollable screen full of just text   
   in tight boxes with, say name and DOB, linked to the other family   
   members.
