Entering Siblings into PAF
If you have an individual in the file already and want to add a spouse, a child, or other parents to the individual, just highlight the individual, then click on ADD and select the options available as shown below.
If you want to add a brother or sister to this individual, you will first need to click on one of the parents, or click on the arrowhead keys to the right of one of the parents as shown above. This will bring up a family unit as shown below.
One of the easiest ways to add a brother or sister of the same parents to Karen is to click anywhere below Karen's name on the chart below. The option to add a child to Bruno and Helena comes up. Just add the person as you have been taught in other templates above.
This was Karen's older brother so when his birth date was mentioned a warning box came up to say that "This birth date precedes the next older sibling's birth date. This is a reminder that you will need to put the children in order when you are done entering them. Just click on the OK and continue entering the information. After saving the information, it will ask if you want to add another child for Bruno Benjamin Kamsula. If you click NO, the family will remain on the screen.
This allows you to click on the EDIT option which brings up a drop down list where you may ORDER CHILDREN. All the siblings will be listed at one time.
The oldest brother is now heading the list because the order at the bottom right hand corner of the screen was selected to place him in the proper brith order. Click OK when finished to keep your changes. |
