Access the help system inside Legacy by clicking on the Help menu, then click Contents. The fan chart can be a very decorative way to showcase your legacy family tree.
The fan chart has much more space than the circular chart for entering additional genealogy data such as birthdates and places, though efficiency of area is not as pronounced. Thus you will put your fathers father in space number 4, your mothers father in space number, thats right 6. Following the Ahnentafel system, any subsequent persons father will be designated their number doubled, and the mother their number doubled plus one. Number 2 is where youll enter your fathers name, and number 3 your mothers. You can only create a new tree in your chart (more than one tree can be imported into the same chart) from Legacy databases.
If you have already imported a particular type of tree and want to re-import it see 'Importing from the same file again'. On each side of the center circle is a semi-circular space, the one to the left is numbered 2, the one on the right 3. You can also drag and drop a Legacy family file file into TreeDraw to begin the import process. In the circle that is the hub of the fan chart is the number 1.
