I have just started using the program, so am still trying to find out how it works.
I have added the details of a number of people and am trying to find a view that will display all of the individuals. For example, I have entered details of myself, my niece (on my wifes side), my grandparents and all people inbetween.
When I chose any of the charts they do not show my niece. Is there a chart that will show all of the people in the database if they are linked?
Thank you

Use the LISTS function > Individuals > ALL while your GEDCOM (family tree) is very small will show all your people in the database. As your niece is beginning to become a remotely related person, most if not all of the charts and diagrams will not show her. My personal preference on researching 'holes' in my own ancestry is the CIRCLE DIAGRAM (fan chart), as missing people clearly show and you can easily navigate from one person to another. The TREE will not work as you wish and BRANCHES list may help, but not obviously so.
