What Is the Descendant Chart in the Family Tree Maker?
A descendant chart in the Family Tree Maker software is a graphical representation of an individual’s descendants over several generations. It can be created in FTM 2017 and 2019. A chart begins with a single individual (referred to as the proband) and charts each of their offspring, grandkids, great-grandchildren, and so on in a manner akin to a tree as they proceed through the generations. You must first build up a family tree file with the person you wish to be the chart’s proband before creating the chart in Tree Maker.

Hello – I have created a Pedigree Chart, choosing four generations. For two of the great-grandparents, the chart does not include all the information re birth, marriage and death, but it does for the other six by including a second line of information in the box. I would like to know how to increase the information in the two boxes.
Thank you,
