As the family tree grows it is
more and more difficult to do a website that shows everything you
want to show. In the Descendent format, the presentation shows the
descendents of the patriarch or matriarch of a family. This
presentation cuts off other branches of the family we prefer the
Ancestor format. Below is a screen shot of how the ancestor view
looks. The Selected individual is there in the middle with his
parents and grand parents. You can go further back by following
the arrows upward. If there are no arrows, that is as far as your
family tree goes. You do this by clicking on a box or arrow.
In the Family Links Box on the
right are listed spouses and children of the selected individual.
So you can follow the descendant line by clicking on one of those
names. If you get lost, go back to the name index and choose an
individual that you know, and off you go again.

OldSouthAfricanFamilies.com website provides a ton of
