The tree opens with John Cobbold (1745-1835) in PRIME position. Note the dark brown line around his card. The screen shows his parents, his first wife, his children (by his first wife) and his grandchildren.

To see his second wife (and his children by his second wife) left click the right hand button above the spouse card.

To see family who are currently off the screen hold down the left button of your mouse and drag it around the screen.

To move around the tree left click on any card to put it in PRIME position. If you are looking for a specific person go to FAMILY INDEX, select the surname initial and click on the name you want. You will be taken to its position in the tree. If its not in the index its not in the tree.

You can use the browser’s back button to retrace your steps. The small blue icon on a card will take you to that person’s biography page (but very few of them have been written yet; this is your opportunity to help!) If in doubt consult FAQ.
