34 Building a Tree That’s all you need to enter for Frances’s parents. Now you are ready to make Diana Spencer the focus of the workspace again. This time you’ll use a different feature. Because Diana is the home person, or primary individual, of the tree, her information can be easily accessed with the click of a button. To display Diana’s information: 1. Click the Go to home person button located at the top of the index of individuals (see figure 2-11). Figure 2-11. Go to home person button Diana becomes the focus of the workspace. Removing an Individual from Your Tree It’s always good practice to check your information from time to time. Sometimes you’ll find that you have mistakenly added an individual that isn’t related to you. Don’t worry––Family Tree Maker makes it easy to delete an individual from your tree. 1. In the main menu bar at the top of the Family Tree Maker window, click the Person menu and select Delete Person.
Family Tree Maker 35 Family Tree Maker asks you to confirm that you want to delete Diana’s information. For this exercise, you will not actually delete her from the file. 2. Click No. (If you clicked Yes, Diana’s information would be deleted from your family tree.) Family Tree Maker returns you to the People workspace. Note: It’s important to remember to use the Delete Person command whenever you want to remove someone permanently from your file. Using the Backspace or Delete keys only removes an individual’s name—it doesn’t remove any of his or her other information or his or her relationships with other people. If you try to delete a name and replace it with a different individual, Family Tree Maker will mistakenly attach all the facts to the new individual thinking you have merely changed the spelling of the name. In all the tasks you’ve performed so far, you have been entering general family relationships. We’ll now learn how to enter more specific information for an individual.
