I drew a family tree for Dad for the Collens branch with PageMaker. I did several versions. One with circles and triangles for males and females, and many different length lines. My avant garde font makes a perfect circle with a capital O and triangles with option + J. (Actually any font will make the triangle in the same way.) It required a lot of copy/paste maneuvers. Another version was with lines only, using * to denote “deceased”. I then typed all the names in two ways: all caps and upper/lower case. U/lc with lines only is the cleanest looking, most readable version. Circles and triangles makes clear who is male and female, especially in the case of unisex names.
If I do a few more of these, I’ll have the technique in hand. It promises to save Dad lots of money for his Supplement to the book. He asked if I could teach him to do it on my computer. I probably could but in the end Iױd probably get it done faster doing it myself. (That’s my genes from Boss talking!)
