On the Tree Page menu bar (Tree, People, Reports, Charts/books, etc.) there was a choice to view Families which displayed all families in the tree, similar to the display of all people in the tree.  The ablility to see all families in a tree is most important to me - it enables me to verify that I have the correct children with the correct parents, correct spouse, etc. in families where the parent married someone with the same or similar name in several geneations and where every generation seemed to name all of their many children the same!  Also have siblings from one family marry siblings from another family and then procede to name all their children after their brothers and sisters!  I realize that I can look at an individual's family from their profile page, but this does not help the situation described above.  Please put the families function back as it was if it has been removed or tell me where to find if it's location has changed.

Thank,

I have two trees in my site.  Only one of them is larger than 3000 people and neither of the trees show the Families function.  If I read your answer correctly, the smaller tree should show this function and it does not!  Why not?

I find it very disappointing, to say the least, that MyHeritage tells one that by buying the more expensive plans that more features and unlimited trees will be available.  To me this is false advertising and very dishonest.  Instead of more features, features such as the Families function are taken away.  One is not told that this will happen as the trees get bigger.  What other features go away with no warning when a tree exceeds a certain size and why are we not told upfront that things like this will happen?  Probably wouldn't make your product quite as appealing, would it?   

Thanks for finally answering my questions.

It will be nice, if I can see difference between sibblings in modern tree. For example, my ancestor had 9 chldren, and 5 of them died as child. Year was 1733, I doubt I will get any photo of 65 percent of persons in my tree.  It is nice to have in Modern tree pink silhouette of woman and blue of man. But it will be better and nicer when the tree do the math with date of death minus date of birth and you get number 0-90. So children are 0-15.

When tree do the math and number will be between 0-15, it will change the pink or blue silhouette to slightly lighter pink silhouette of girl with 2 hairtail or blue silhouette of boy.

Or children dead between 0-15 years of age  will have LIGHTER pink silhouette of girl or blue silhouette of boy.

Hi,

I had the idea of (without actually changing the tree) doing an ancestor chart (fan shape, probably) to say seven generations (using myself as the starting point).  (And here there would be an overlap of two generations, as you will see, which would make it easier to consult the chart(s) and to see their place in relation to each other; you could see the same information at the top of the first chart and at the bottom of the others...) (and seven generations fits into, I think from memory, a single A3 sheet or two A4/letter sheets joined...) (Your local printery will do at least those double-sized sheets quite cheaply and the paper is heavier too).

Then do another similar ancestor chart FOR EACH OF THE SIXTEEN PEOPLE AT THE FIVE GENERATION LEVEL and you have say twelve generations. Or you could do  sixtyfour people at the seven generation level and you would have at least fourteen generations; but sixteen at the starting point for the new charts seems manageable.     Roughly paste the charts onto heavy paper/light card and you can store them easily, and just take out the one or two (the first, or one of the second, or the first AND one of the second ones) that would be probably all you want to see at the one time.

Or just store them flat and don't bother with the heavier backing.

I had thought of also printing this out as a working document so that I could easily refer to the complete tree, and at the same time see the GAPS; and then I could pencil in new names, and only reprint it when there were a lot of the gaps filled.

Simpler than it sounds; very simple. Most of what I wrote is 'why', and 'by-the-way', stuff, to make it easier to do and understand...
