Is anyone still having a problem with people going missing? When I check further up my tree, some of the children just disappear. I have to rebuild the tree or do a search for someone. I thought it was just when I updated info, but not so, ot's happening all the time!

I found one, on a census, down the road at her great aunts!

Also found my g grandad changed his name as soon as he could (aged about 9!) - very difficult finding his birth!!!

Helen, are they vanishing off your GR tree?

Children are still in my tree. I have just finished printing it off. I had to take it to a fairly small size so there would not be too many pages to print, as it was there were 14. I need strong glasses to read it.

Same here. I cannot see the children of a couple unless I try to add a child then they all come back. Thought it was me at first.

Same for me too, one minute the child's there, click on the parents and the child disappears

Yes, the children just disappear, usually after I've updated someone. Very annoying having to rebuild my tree all the time.

Huia - why don't you take it to someone with a copier and get it put on A3 - don't want your eyes doing any straining.

It isnt all that bad with my reading glasses on, Persey, but I wouldnt want it any smaller. If it was bigger it would take up too many pages and be difficult to lay out on the table or floor.

It is possible to print it larger, but it would take a lot more pages than 14, probably about 30 or so.

I have just printed off 1 page on a medium setting, and 1 on the largest setting. The largest is definitely easiest to read, but I estimate it would take 60-80 pages A4, and I dont have large numbers of names in my tree. If I added all the names that I have elsewhere it would cost a fortune in forests and be difficult to lay out.
