| Hints
for Using The Dynamic Family Tree: |
| What is it?
The dynamic family tree is an alternative to having a genealogy program
on your home computer, into which you have imported the family data
file available from the webmaster. It is also an alternative to the
online family tree posted at My Heritage.com. The dynamic family tree
displays direct family lines, rather than the entire trees that My
Heritage or home versions show, but it does display the names
of living relatives which are anonymous at My Heritage, as well as the
notes contained in the data file. It also works with any
operating system. |
| Direct Family Lines Stressed:
The dynamic family tree is slanted toward
showing direct family ancestral lines (grandparents, parents, etc),
rather than descendants, other than children, or side lines.
Thus, cousins, aunts, uncles do not automatically display as they do on
a full family tree. Think of it as displaying individual
branches as opposed to the entire tree. |
Notes
& Photos:
Pointing to a person will cause
basic notes to appear. If there are extensive notes for a person, then
selecting them will cause a "notes" icon to appear. Clicking that icon
will cause the notes to "pop up". Similarly, a photo icon
will appear if there is a photo associated with a person. You
must close any
notes or photo you have opened to navigate further. |
| Navigation
from the
Family Member List: Clicking the Yellow Boxes at the
top will allow you to see a list of all persons on the tree to select
from, or allow you to create a filtered list. (Some spouses
and children
appear in the list without their last names.) |
Further
Help: Clicking
the Question Mark (?) at
the top right of the screen will bring up additional help. Closing
the
dynamic family tree and this page will return you to the main family
website page. |
| Where Family Clans/Lines
Connect: The dynamic family tree should
open centered on Frank or Mordechai Mendel Olenberg. To see the
connection of
the Olenberg and Gilner lines,
locate Frank Olenberg and click on his wife Bertha Olenberg's grandfather, Maier
David Gilner. To see the
Olemberg/Olenberg connection, locate and click on Yitzhak
Yankel Olenberg. To see the Director/Directovich connection,
click Bertha
Olenberg and then the oldest (unknown) Directovich to the right. To
locate the
Chaleff line, click Bertha Olenberg, then her father (S. Directovich)
and then the A. Directovich with a left arrow (indicating descendants).
Of
course, the other option is to choose from the lists at the top of the
page. |
