| Children's Relationship to Parents | Display the nature of each child's relationship to its parents,
in a column labelled 'Rel.' The column displays a code
letter corresponding to the child's relationship to its parents.
For example, the letter. 'a' means that the child is adopted, 's'
means that it is a step child, and so on. If the column is blank, this means that the status is 'birth' (the default). Right-click on any child box to edit this relationship field, and to see what the codes mean. |
| Ancestors Dates | Show each ancestor's life dates, in the Ancestors tab. |
| Descendants Dates | Show each descendant's life dates, in the Descendants tab. |
| Descendants Spouses | Show spouses of each descendant. Also, if there is any ambiguity about who were the parents of any given descendant, modify the descendant line to show which spouse they were a child of. |
| Descendants Spouses Dates | If showing descendant spouses, this option allows you to choose whether or not to also display their life dates. |
| Record Ids | Display each person's record id. |
| Ages | Display age information in the Spouses & Children tab, and the Parents & Siblings tab. Each person's age at the time of their death, marriage or divorce is displayed, if this is is applicable, and is known or can be calculated. Each person's age now is displayed if the person is or may be alive. |
| Notes | If enabled, the first line or so of their record notes will be displayed in the parents' boxes in the Spouses & Children, and Parents & Siblings tabs. |

| Double Click Action | If you choose , double-clicking on any box in the Focus Window will make that person the Focus Person for the window. If you press the Alt key while double-clicking, however, the alternative action will occur - i.e. the person will be displayed in the Property Box (which will be opened, if not already opened). If you choose , the reverse occurs. Now double-clicking on a box shows that person in the Property Box, but pressing the Alt key while double-clicking causes the person to become the Focus Person. |
