Group these family chronologies by place of birth, or by surname depending on the particular work you’re doing.
Display chosen ancestors over specific time periods using the Smart Search: an ideal way to highlight some of the surnames to be found in your genealogy, or a place in particular.

Placed side by side, these timelines enable you to see at a glance “which ancestors knew one another”, a key factor in understanding how various generations interacted with each other and in uncovering new relationships. For example, with the Family Chronology, it’s easy to find out which of a person’s four grandparents was born first, how old they were when each of them died, and so on.

Easily spot all those who are not blood-related to the primary person (their names are in italics).

Whether you are looking at direct-line ancestors, or at extended family members, or even at the primary person’s ancestors/descendants only, you can:
– locate ancestors chronologically
– discover the various surnames used over the years
– locate your ancestors’ birthplaces across time

A view that lets you take a step back from your genealogy and present your family in a more dynamic way!

Of course, you are given numerous options for setting the scope or adjusting the time scale increments. You can highlight a person by selecting him/her in the chart or in the Persons List palette. In short, it’s another (good) Heredis idea!
