GR says this is for clarity but it does the very opposite in my opinion, it makes it more difficult to quickly see relationships. Also, why does the tree not spread out wider instead of wrapping around? I have used a couple of other family tree websites and this is by far the worst but I suppose you get what you pay for. :-(

Mid 1800's - One of my relatives remarried after his first wife died. 13 children by first wife and 2 more by the second wife. When I go to his name, both wives and all 15 children display. And all children have a line to the correct mother. Also please explain "spread out wider". And "wrap around". I can just get all of this family group (3 parents and 15 children) to display on my pc screen by clicking the '-' minus sign at the bottom lh of the screen. ie Reduce the view from whatever 100% is. It only reduces so far. But if the lettering was much smaller I would not be able to read it anyway.
