This is the first in a series of articles on things you can do on the daltonr.com website.  Over the next couple of Weeks I'll be adding more instructions on how to use the features of the website.  Future 'Things to try' will include:

• Send an e-card.  You can send any of the photographs in the Gallery as an electronic post card.
• Upload photos. You can have your own photo album on the daltonr.com gallery.
• Find Yourself.  How to navigate the Family Tree and find yourself and your family, or anyone else.
• Send a Message. Use the daltonr.com forums and Private Messaging.

The first 'Thing To Try' is see how two people on the family tree are related.  The family tree now has hundreds of names from dozens of families, spanning 5 generations.  You might want to see how you are related to someone else, or how two other people are related.  It's very easy to do.

Click the 'Family Tree' button on the daltonr.com Menu (See figure 1).

The Relationships tool consists of two lists with the names of the people in the Family Tree.  Select any two names and click Go.  (See figure 4).  If you want to see how you are realted to someone else, select your name in one of the lists, it doesn't matter which one.

After clicking Go the results will be displayed.  The relationship between the two people will be described in text and using a chart (See figure 5).
