Maggie, I've got Roots Magic Essentials, ver 4, and I downloaded it only a week or so ago. But I've just noticed this must be the US version (I got it from rootsmagic.com) and that there is a UK version on rootsmagic.co.uk, so perhaps the UK version is different.... Do you have the UK version? I won...

Maggie/Antie Em, thanks for that info. Is it then possible to add that information to the descendant tree (Reports/Charts/Box Charts)? I have Roots Magic Essentials and it doesn't look as if it is possible, it seems that I can only add birth, death, burial, marriage & divorce. Thanks.

Well now I am confused about what all these programs can or can't do as different people seem to be saying different things. OK - one last questsion: I would like to add a field to the individual record and call that field "tree note". I know that with some programs you can create new fiel...

Yes that that's exactly what I want. For one tree/database I'm doing for a friend it will be very basic with not a huge number of people and only very short notes (just a few words), so I'd like the option to include the notes on the tree and it won't end up too large. With another tree/database the...

But will the notes print out on the descendant tree? I'm sure there are lots of reports that will include the notes, but I specifically want the notes to print on the descendant chart/tree. And I'd like those notes to print out next to or below the name of the individual. Really I suppose my questio...

Antie Em and Northern Lass - thank you very much for your replies. Sorry, I'm obviously not being very clear, I'm finding it hard to describe what I want. I'll try again.... I want to add notes to an individual and chose to have those notes print out onto the descendant chart. The notes would be fai...

I sent an email to Ancestry.com and asked them about Family Tree Maker, and unfortunately it can't do this either. They said: "We apologize but at the current time you can't include notes in the charts created with the Family Tree Maker program but you can include your notes with the reports.&q...

Hi and thanks to both of you for your replies. But I'm it doesn't look like the TribalPages website does what I want. Rootsmagic doesn't either as I've already tried the Essential version then emailed the company to ask them more about it. They say "You can't include notes automatically in boxe...

Can anyone suggest a simple family tree program which has the facility to add notes and/or user defined fields to the charts, eg the descendant chart? I don't think Legacy does this, Roots Magic doesn't. I don't know about all the other programs around. I tried Genbox and this is great, does what I ...
