An Association is a record of a relationship between two people in your database that may not be obvious from the regular tree structure of your genealogy. In fact, two people who are linked in an Association may not be related at all.

To add, edit or delete associations for an individual, look up person in Admin/People and edit the individual record, then click on the Associations icon at the top of the screen (if associations already exist, a green dot will be present on the icon). When the icon is clicked, a small popup will appear showing all associations existing for the active individual.

To add a new association, click on the "Add New" button and fill out the form.

To edit or delete an existing association, click on the appropriate icon next to that association.

While adding or editing an association, take note of the following:

Enter the ID of the person to be associated with the active individual, or click the Find icon to search for the ID.

Enter the nature of the association between the two individuals. For example, Godfather, Mentor or Witness.

When you are done adding, editing or deleting associations for this individual, click the "Finish" button to close the window.
