Introducing a new addition to the Tree Apps family, the Super Big Family Tree app, now available in beta version on the apps test server.
(Choose SUPER BIG FAMILY TREE from the Tree App drop down list, if it's not already chosen, enter a WikiTree ID, then click GO)
After months of planning, programming and testing, the Super Big Family Tree (or SBFT for short), is now ready for a larger audience to test it and kick its tires.
What does this app do? In a nutshell, it allows you to create a Family Tree chart as large, wide or narrow as you wish.
Once you pick the primary person to build the family tree upon, you can go as far back as 7 generations of ancestors, or forward as far as 7 generations of descendants.
You can also branch out and go wide - and display up to "3rd cousins" of depth of all the direct ancestors, that is, for each direct ancestor, you can display their siblings, and those siblings' children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
At every level, there is also the option to show the "in-laws" - i.e. - the parents of each spouse married into the family.
Thanks to the dedication and persistence of Murray Maloney, there is also an excellent Free Space page dedicated to documenting all the features of the Super Big Family Tree app. Murray's collaboration also helped me many times in testing and adding new features and functionality I hadn't even considered, but have made the app much better than I'd originally conceived. Thanks Murray!
There are still some bugs - a few are known - but I'm sure there are many special cases I have not been able to test. If you find something, please reply to this post, or send me a message on Discord. I'd like to iron out as many bugs as possible before the app moves permanently to the Tree Apps area on the main server.
Enjoy!
