Root is top or bottom of tree?

    In reading some of the other questions, it is unclear to me what the root value should be. My goal is to have me as the base of the tree, and my 1000s of ancestors ascending from there. (For now I have a 4 people entered, but I’m on the free version.)

    Is that the correct interpretation of root? In one answer in the support forum, it seemed that you were saying root was the top of a tree. For example my great-great-great-grandfather is root, and then all of his descendants are displayed.

  • Hi,
    Tree needs three generations and the oldest person is root.

    Thanks for the definition of root. I will not be able to use your plugin, as I want to have a tree that starts with an individual, and show the ancestors.

    Working from an ancestor down doesn’t make a lot of sense for me. I have about 15 ancestors pairs (husband and wife) who are the top of their individual line of descendents. It makes little sense for me to have to show 15 roots. I want to be able do go up the lines of my direct descendents.

    Please consider that feature for the future. Please also document what you plugin does more in the description. That would help potential users to understand it better.

    I appreciate your quick response.

    Hi,
    we would consider this feature in future.

    Hi,
    honestly, I am also interested in this opportunity because it would allow you to see the complete tree in the graphic part and would allow you to manage complicated crossings, because in the past people who had complicated stories and plots happened. As a consequence, starting from the youngest person to the oldest ancestor, on the contrary, it would be possible to manage the tree completely.
    Do you agree ?

    Check out the addon – it seems to do the trick ?

    I’m in the same boat. I want to show my ancestors in this tree and not some ancestors descendants. Does treepress-charts address this?
