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, then on the cogwheel .

Heredis is defaulted to color code each banner based on each person’s City of birth but you can, if you wish to, switch to another option such as County, State/Region, or Country of birth by clicking on the cogwheel  in the upper right corner of the screen and selecting > Location Tree.
