Location Tree

Under the Ancestors dynamic view, Heredis will automatically color code the banner of each box in the family tree, based on the place of birth of the persons displayed.
Heredis will also let you see the criteria on which the color coding is based, that is either the persons’ City, County, State/Region, or Country of birth.

How to display the Location Tree

• Click on the Family tab > Ancestors,
• Click on the cogwheel ,
• Select Location tree.
• Choose the administrative level: City, County, State/Province or Country.
• From Heredis 2025, choose the type of event for the banner coloring: Birth, Marriage or Death.
