	You can view 3 generations, but that's it, your screen wouldn't fit anymore in anyway. If you print it and try to fit it together, you'll see why. I made one using Excel and it is 3 pages of A4 and that is just 5 generations on my paternal side going back each generation with the same surname, including siblings. The spread would be immense if I tried to incorporate more.
