- A wide family has a strip along the bottom: each mark is a person, the window is what you see. Click or drag it to move along the family.
- A door at the edge leads to a connected person in another family. The trail at the top takes you back.
- Notable, Earliest, To America and Deepest trees are sets. Open one and the top bar changes: a list to choose from, ‹ and › to step through, and × to leave.

Relationship key
A line is a relationship. Its color and dash say how strongly the sources support it.
A parent line is the parentage a record states: a census's "Daughter" of the head, a will's "my son", a baptism's named father. It asserts nothing about biology beyond the record's words; where a record distinguishes a step, adoptive or legal parent, the label says so. In the relationship panel, "2 statements from one record" means one witness read twice, not two.

- Probable
- Possible
- SpeculativeA thin reading, not a lack of evidence.

- =? identity comparisonWhether two records are the same person. Not kinship. Off until turned on in Display.
- DoorThe line continues to someone in another neighborhood. It is a claim at its band, not a merged family.
- One line, several claimsWhen two records assert the same relationship, one line is drawn at the strongest band and its tag counts the claims. The relationship panel lists each.
