GED Browser Features
Site Map: This options will create an HTML page that contains an overall "map" of what your genealogy tree looks like. Each name is represented in the map, and it is linked to their individual pedigree charts. You can choose to represent each individual with their name. Or can choose to display each individual as a bar to show a graphical shape of your tree. Descendants: You may display one generation of Descendants. You may also choose what information you want to display for all descendants (Birth, Marriage, etc.). The descendants that show up in bold designate the path to take you back to the Primary Ancestor. The descendants that have a "<" symbol next to their name have more information. Either their line continues, or they are married. Multimedia:
