However if you use the Full tree view then they will become misaligned to allow for marriages and subsequent children. Width of a page would go on ad infinitum if all siblings had children who had children and had to be kept on the same line. A list of the different tree views is at the top of the tree view pages under the Purple Genes Reunited logo. The direct line is always to the left of the page so you'll find in the full tree view, a younger sibling may show before older ones who themselves appear in age order.
