FAQ

There is a lot of people on my tree, but I can't make them appear all in a diagram. Is it possible to display them all together?

Short answer: no, often you can't display all the persons on a single diagram.

In Family Gem the diagram is always centered on a single person (the yellow one). This person can have ancestors, descendants, siblings, spouses, uncles, nephews and cousins. These branches could be expanded indefinitely (at the moment the limit is 100 generations).
But would be impossible to display other relatives, e.g. second cousins, because the connecting lines would start to cross each other, making the diagram unreadable.
If you have realistic ideas on how to display everyone on a single diagram please contact the app developer.

How to add a child from a previous relationship?

Let's keep calm. This is perfectly possible with Family Gem.
You can find help about that on Multiple partners for one person and Half siblings.

Why are some texts not translated in my local language?

Probably you mean the names of "Other" facts and events in the person profile and in the family page.
It's because Family Gem is based on a library made by FamilySearch. These texts come from this library, and they are still not all translated.
We are working on this.

Accented characters of an imported GEDCOM become gibberish

Probably the GEDCOM file you imported is missing one line that indicates its encoding, that probably is UTF-8.
One workaround is to open the GEDCOM file with a text editor and just below the first line 0 HEAD add this line:

1 CHAR UTF-8

Is it possible to switch language inside the app?

Yes, there is a language picker inside Family Gem:
Trees → ⚙️ Settings → System language → choose your language
