Three varieties of trees are presented within this website, depending mostly on the source of the data used to create them.
Firstly, there are those that have been typed in indented list format, a quick but less flexible method of presentation. This is used where the data has been provided in a format basically already suitable for this method. It also takes considerably less time that the second method to create a usable tree.
Secondly, there are trees produced as output from a Genealogical software package, in my case I use "The Master Genealogist" and I would be happy to recommend it to anyone from beginner to one-namer - it will cope with an immense amount of data and produce a wide range of output formats as files or on paper, screen or website. Most usefully, it can read in data directly from many other packages, avoiding the straight-jacket effects of going via GEDCOM files. The output from this package is in a very easy to assimilate style, where links are provided from an index into a tree and also from generation to generation within that tree.
Thirdly, also from a genealogical package, in the form of 'Descendancy charts' which use lines instead of generation numbers.
Some appear more than one way - I would be interested in your comments on which you prefer, and why.
