The Tracer is simple to use:
1. Locate your toolbar at the top of your screen.
2. Click on the Tracer icon.
3. Click on any individual in your Starfield.

In the illustration below, I am the anchor individual. To see how I am related to my ancestor John William Prunty I turn on the Tracer feature by clicking on the toolbar icon. I then click on John William Prunty in my Starfield. The blue line appears showing how I am related to John. He is my mother's, mother's, mother's, father.
