Getting around the tree (app)

In the app, open the Tree tab. It centers on one person; the toolbar at the top gives you the views and controls.

  • Pedigree (default) β€” ancestors laid out with left/right arrows to page deeper into a branch and back.
  • Fan chart β€” tap the fan/pedigree toggle icon to switch. Paternal side is forest-green, maternal side is gold.
  • Descendants outline β€” tap the outline icon to walk down through children.
  1. Tap a person to re-center on them; a home icon appears to jump back to where you started.
  2. Pan with a finger; the arrows move a whole generation at a time.
The 2Γ—greats badge shows how many of your 16 great-great-grandparents are filled in β€” a quick sense of how complete your deep tree is.
