Hi all,

I have a solution to the crosslinks problem on ancestor charts in the next
version.

The problem occurs when multiple ancestors are the same individual. Genbox
currently attempts to show the dual relationship with extra connecting
lines.

As a new option, a duplicate ancestor box can be drawn instead, with a text
reference that refers back to the original box for the ancestor. The
ancestors are only shown above the original box.

With this option, the resulting ancestor chart for a single key individual
has no crosslinks.

Also, level numbers for ancestor charts are now initialized by counting up
from the starting key individual. This produces the expected generational
alignment.

Thanks to all for your input on these problems.

Best regards,

--Bill
