I have a major wish for GenoPro to include a link system that will allow the linking of numerous individuals into a family tree. If it is already possible, I havn't been able to find out how to do this.

Let me explain in more detail what I mean with an example. My family (with my wife, son, my wife's sisters and their sons) are now repeated 4 times in 4 separate family trees.

When I find spelling error in this section of the tree, I need to correct it 4 times.

When I add another photo, I need to add it 4 times.

That is, any changes to any details of this section of the tree requires me to repeat it on all the other trees.

The whole process could be improved by creating a small tree with my family on it and reference it from the other 4. This way any changes made on this small tree would automatically reflect in the other 4 trees.

If this is now possible, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I don't know exactly what you mean by the GenoMap+Hyperlink.

I assume that this is the same as you mention later about the Hyperlink. I did try that and do use it to switch to different genomaps. But these Hyperlinks do not show the linked object(s) in the source genomap. It only switches to the GenoMap that it points to.

What I am referring to (above) is having that link but show the linked objects in the original genomap.

Let explain this in a different way:

I will use a Microsoft Word capability. Imagine a document that has some text that I want reference and insert into 4 different documents. In the 4 separate documents I Insert Link the reference document. Now, all 4 documents have my reference document displayed + any other text I have in each of the 4 documents. If I now change some text in my reference document, those changes will automatically be reflected in the 4 separate documents without changes being made to the 4 documents.

What I would like, is to use GenoMaps as documents in Word. This is exactly what I was trying to describe.

Thanks

I don't understand -

3. Create a hyperlink of this individual to Genomap2.

How do I do this. Genomap2 is empty. What do I key into the Hyperlink field?

Thanks

That's great.

Now, What if GenoMap1 has a family of 14 people. How do I link the whole group (family) to GenoMap2?

Thanks

I won't say that I understand it, but I will say that at this stage it is more complicated to create the Hyperlinks that I would want than to just create my trees and maintain the 4 separate family sections as I have done for months (oops, years).

I don't think that it will be feasible to do what I want on my family trees until GenoPro Hyperlinks will simulate my Microsoft Word analogy.

Sorry for using up all your time. But, at lease I know it can't be done, not yet at least.

Thanks a lot

After hyperlinking to the second Genomap, type the letter "v" and the rest of the family will join the hyperlinked individual.

Otherwise you can highlight all the members (hold down the shift key while selecting members) and then right click on one of the selections to "move to genomap" All selected will move in one action
