| I have been excitedly testing the new
American & European Family Forest Millennium
Edition, which will be manufactured next week.
While trying to discover its limits, I found that
it literally reaches new heights. A 25
generation Ancestor View (without siblings, and
with Cousin Smart de-selected) for Prince Andrew
of Greece (pin# 5608) reached the first major
peak.
According to the counters within the new
version 3.0 of Family Explorer, it filled in
975,750 boxes on the chart with ancestors of
Prince Andrew, and the space required to print
this chart would be 4 pages wide by 29,259 pages
high. At 11 inches high per page, the height of
this chart would reach from sea level to more
than 6,500 feet above the highest peak in North
America, Mt. McKinley!
Prince Andrew's wife is lineage-linked to a
similar size pedigree in this Family Forest, so a
25 generation Ancestor View (without siblings,
and with Cousin Smart de-selected) for their son,
Prince Philip (pin# 3574) produces an even larger
chart.
According to the counters, it filled in almost
1.09 million boxes on the chart with ancestors of
Prince Philip, and the space required to print
this chart would be 4 pages wide by 33,110 pages
high. This chart would reach from sea level to
more than 1,300 feet above the highest peak on
the planet, Mt. Everest!
So, for the first time ever, it is now
possible to calculate and display pedigree charts
that are more than five miles high. What should
one expect to find on pedigree charts with more
than one million boxes filled in?
