This extension looks through all or selected individuals and familes and prepares a chronological list of common events that have dates in a timeline report. The two types of reports are a graphical style or a tabular style. The graphical style shows bars for each individual with that individual's events indicated by colored lines. The tabular style shows a table of events. The table can include all events in your file or can be restricted to events within a selected time interval (note that tabular style is only available in GEDitCOM II).
The report will compile (a progress window will show the percent done as it looks up events). When done it will appear in a report window. Each individual will appear with a bar over thier lifspan. Events and attributes reocrd that that person will be indicated by date as a line within the bar. A key to events will be at the top and the chart. As you hover the mounse over any event/attribute line, a window will popup with more details about what happened on that date. The "Search" field at the top-right of the chart can be used to narrow the display to only those individuals matching the entered text. For large charts, the chart will appear in its own scrolling field that is separate from the main window's scoll bars. You may have to move the window scrol bars to see the charts own scroll bars.

Note: for searching fatures that filter the list to work, you have to be connected to the internet, or to have recently run this same report while connected to the internet.
