descendent chart

[wrigjef]

understand that information on those living is private to your tree but is it appropriate to enter and maintain spouse, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins in your tree? It has been suggested that keeping such entries will eventually create duplicates but at the same time I find it useful to keep track of birthdays and clearly see linkages (I have extended family that I don't know). If not does a product exist or can one be developed that mimics the layout of a familysearch tree but works backwards from grandparents (so uncles and aunts would be included)
