Group Sheet

These are the most common labels that appear on a family group sheet.

Husband Wife Born Married

Died in <place> Father Mother

Spouses M (male) F (female) Name

The label "in" is followed by a place of birth, marriage or death. You may prefer "at" instead.

In some cases, more than one name may appear after the Father or Mother labels. A child may appear on more than one family page depending on the child's relationship to a given set of parents. For instance a child may appear on the page for his birth parents, and also on the page for his adoptive parents. Therefore on a child's own spousal family page, there can be links to more than one father and more than one mother.

Option

Meaning

Omit label when field is empty

Place a check here to prevent empty field labels from being displayed. Normally GED-GEN displays field labels like Died: and Spouses: even when such fields are empty. This presents a consistent, form-like appearance to the family group sheet. You may prefer not to see such labels if the fields are empty. For example the label Spouses: may have a negative connotation if an individual has but one spouse.

"Group Sheet" also appears on a multimedia gallery page, as a way for a visitor to return to the group sheet. "Gallery" appears on a multimedia slide page as a way to return to the multimedia gallery page.

The link separator is displayed between the inter-page navigation links. The default is a vertical bar character (|) enclosed between two non-breaking space ( ) characters.
