Multiple Spouses

When working with multiple spouses in Ancestral Quest, you have the option to set it to a specific spouse, as well as adding however many spouses there are in that particular family unit. 

To add an additional wife, one simply highlights the husband, then click on the "Add Spouse" button.


Notice the button in the lower right hand corner above, in your program, it is half way down on the right side.

When you click that button, a screen opens up to add a spouse to the highlighted individual, one should always check that information in the upper left hand corner to make sure the additional spouse is being added to the correct individual.




Once you fill this whole form out, the new spouse will be added to the stated individual. If you need to have the new spouse placed in the main position with the husband, you have two options: 1) click the down arrow at the end of the spouse's name:


Or you can click on the "Order" button just above the "Add Spouse" button.


If there are additional spouses to be added, simply repeat this process.

Enjoy all this and all the features with Ancestral Quest today!

AQ Report Choices

When it comes to creating charts, Ancestral Quest has a large selection of charts that an individual can create from their family information. To get to the section to print charts, one simply clicks on the 'printer' icon or you can get there by clicking on 'File', scroll down and click on 'Print Reports and Charts'.


Looking at the above menu, we'd like to point out how one can click on any one of the tabs at the top to get to the type of chart one may be wanting to print or create to share.

Each tab has a few different things on it but they all have a lot of similar items too. They all have a Common Option button which is where you can suppress RIN and MRIN numbers on a report as well as include Relationship Codes, Multiple parents indicators, color coding and tags.

To the right under the Preferences button you'll find the place either include LDS Data or not, capitalize surnames and add color.

The button labeled Source Images provides you with the ability to add a caption and a description to the images.

The Fonts button allows you to change the size of the font for various parts of the chart or report you are creating.

The Printer Setup button will allow you to change it to a PDF or to print the chart or report and the Page Setup button allows you to adjust the size of the paper, this is a nice feature if you are printing a large wall chart that will be printed on a special printer for large charts.

With this large variety of altering that can be done to a chart, one can definitely create some great looking charts. Here is a link to review some of the charts that can created with Ancestral Quest.

Enjoy these wonderful chart features and more with Ancestral Quest today!
