Does anyone know if the FTM version 2008 should have an ancestor chart, only I cant find it. I have just bought that version from the Family Tree Fair in York (not sure if it was a good idea) Love the lay out etc, but I am sure there was an ancestor tree on when I first started playing with it and I have just seen a list on Family Tree Forum saying it is included, but I just cant see it. Also I cant seem to be able to add anything except name to most other trees, or brothers and sisters.

Please can anyone with this advise, or even someone who just knows.

Thanks for any advice

Mine is still in its box as I haven't upgraded from the old Version 16.

There appears to be a free upgrade which incluses amongst other things, an Ancestor chart.

Try Googling or have a look at this site

Hi Marilyn.

Yes it does only it's called a pedigree chart not an ancestor chart.

Thanks to you all for replying, I found the pedigree ancestor chart Ron but cant add siblings, so will have to wait for the all in one tree.

Thanks again

Don't hold your breath Marilyn, everybody's been waiting for the last 9 months for the chart features to be updated/completed.

2008 is still nowhere near complete and as for designing charts it's rubbish. Stick with version 16 or earlier.
