    The Cayzer Family Tree

    How to Guide

    Green Buttons
    These appear on the edges of an individual's node. Clicking on them will expand the tree and allow you to see more people. Clicking again will hide that part of the tree.
    Individual Nodes
    Clicking on any node will expand it and allow you to see more about that individual. If the individual selected has a biography there will be a link to it in the enlarged node.
    Focus

    This is the state when a specific individual is the main focus of the family tree. The border for that individual’s node is thicker and the tree only displays direct relatives of that individual. Parents are displayed above; siblings to the left and children beneath. To focus on any individual you can:

    • Select / Search for the person in the Focus dropdown at the top of the screen.
    • Click on the Focus button in the large node once you have clicked on any individual.
    • If the tree is in a Focus state, there will be a line of text at the bottom of the screen stating which individual is in focus.
    Key People
    These are selected people on the family tree that are of interest. Selecting any of them from the Key People dropdown will make that individual the focus of the tree.
    Controls
    • Enlarges the tree.
    • Reduces the size of the tree.
    • Recentres the tree and fits it to your screen.
    Reset
    Clicking the reset tree button at the top of the screen takes you back to the starting point for the Family Tree.
    Relationships
    Once you click to expand any node, there is the option to select a relationship in the dropdown at the bottom of the box. Selecting an individual will redraw the tree showing the most direct route between the two selected people. The node for each individual will be green and the route of the relationship will be in a lighter green. The description of the relationship will appear at the bottom of the screen.
