After clicking on a descendent's chart, it will take a few seconds
to download. Eventually you will see a screen with a number of boxes in
it.
To locate an individual quickly, type F on your keyboard. This will display a list of all individuals in the tree.
To view a particular individual's ancestors
and descendants, right-click that individual's box and choose
"Make Primary Individual". This places the
individual's box it in the center of the family tree, with the individual's
ancestors to the right of the box and descendants to the left.
To see more information about a particular person, click their
box and type D on your keyboard. Or, right click the mouse and choose "details"
To move up and down and left and right through the tree, use
the scroll bars.
To return to the center of the tree, press the Home key on your
keyboard.
To zoom in and out of the tree, use the + and - keys on your
keyboard.
The oldest member of the tree is given the number 1 as an identification
number. His first-born child is given the number 1.1. His second-born
child is given the number 1.2. His fifth oldest child would be numbered
1.5.
Guaranteed, you will find errors and omissions in the text and charts.
The family will also be expanding as new generations of Fischer descendants
begin their own families. You can assist this effort by sending
corrections and additions to:

When conducting research, I often come upon information that is
useful, but I wasn't looking for it. Sometimes I discover someone that
can be fitted into the family tree. Sometimes it's a name that looks like
they should belong in the tree, but I don't know where. Rather than discard
them, I keep an ongoing list of such findings. If you can help me place
the following people in the tree please contact me.
