Now we label the topmost female as deceased, as carrier, and enter her name. Right click on this symbol, and enter the appropriate values:

We click on the first son in the second generation. From the Pheneotype menu, select affected.

To mark this symbol as deceased, press [Shift]+click, i.e., press the Shift key, and while the key still down, click the left mouse button with the mouse pointer over this symbol.

For the second male symbol, we use two keyboard shortcuts:

1. select (click at) the second male symbol in the second generation.
2. press [Ctrl]+2 (This is a shortcut for the phenotype menu from above: While the Ctrl key still down, press the "2" key at the top of your keyboard - not at the numbers at the right side).
3. press Shift+Click (while the Shift key still down, click on the second male symbol in the second generation).

Anna has three sons: Fritz, Frank, and Karl. The first and the second son are affected. Select Anna, in case she is not selected. To draw the three children, we could press the Son button three times, or use [Ctrl]+S three times. And, of course, there is also a menu item available:

Right click at each of the three sons, and enter the data. Be sure to select both columns:

We did not have to enter the father of the three sons. He was drawn automatically, as soon as we entered the first son:
