Readable family groups
Person cards group names, dates, portraits, and relationship context. Orthogonal connectors keep family lines legible across generations and preserve the same relationship model used by other Surreality tree views.
Expand where research continues
Missing-parent positions can remain available for later research. Add or review a relative from the selected person instead of rebuilding the visual by hand.
Move around the canvas
Pointer-centered zoom, drag-to-pan, fit, and recenter controls support wide trees on different screen sizes. Keyboard selection and a shared inspector make the graph usable without requiring precise pointer movement.
Keep the visual tied to records
A beautiful chart is most useful when each person can be traced to records, family testimony, or an explicit research note. Preserve source information and distinguish a possible match from a confirmed identity.
