How do I check the number of people who are alive in the tree?

Answer 1

There's no built in way to do this, but you can get this number by:

1. Export your family tree as a CSV file.
2. Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet
3. Find cell G1 (it is in the top row and has the word "Deceased" in it)
4. Copy and paste this formula into that cell: =COUNTIF(G2:G20000,"Y")
5. That cell will now contain the number of deceased people in your family tree, assuming all the deceased people are marked as deceased.
6. You can get the number of total people from the Find box at the bottom of your family tree. Subtracting will give you the living people.
