To compare two families choose another from the Tools menu.



Comparison relies on Unique ID (UUID) and text. For any person in the focus the match must be by UUID. Then XYFT compares between children and grandparents in the other tree.


In the illustration below, comparing the current family with people in family Newby:

  • Brian Anthony Johnson, in the focus, is an exact match of UUID and text in both families.
  • His father and mother are also matched for UUID and text.
  • There is no match on paternal grandparents.
  • Maternal grandfather has matched text but a different UUID
  • Maternal grandmother has a matched UUID but the text differs
  • The two children are not colour coded but any match is explained between square brackets.
