Overlapping Generations
I am looking at the genealogy between Noah and Abram (Genesis 11:10-26) and I'm wondering if there is a visual within Logos for how much the generations overlapped. In other words, a graphic that depicts not only the family tree, but how many generations of descendants did Shem (for example) see before he died?

Did you try the timeline?

I did, but when (for example) I search for Terah, I see his estimated date of death, but that is the only result. I am hoping for a visual that clearly depicts lifespans of multiple individuals and how they overlap.
I constructed my own timeline, but I was more interested in those descendants who could have played a part in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And the Book of Jasher was instrumental in filling in the "gaps" of the Biblical accounts.
Gen 11:26 doesn't delineate the births of Abram, Nahor, Haran whereas the Book of Jasher does (Nahor and Haran b.38 yrs after Terah, with Haran being the elder). And Haran was 42 when he 'begat' Sarai/Sarah...
From that we can see that Noah could have known Abraham and Sarah.

Book of Jasher?? Yes, I've read it.
I thought I saw in Logos the timelines like you created. When L4 was released. As far as I can see everybody disappeared before Abraham?
Jewish Targums have Shem teaching Isaac.
EDIT:
Okie dokie ... it was Bibleworks. Which is interesting, the overlap, not just with Abraham, but with the early empires. I wonder where they lived.

Thank you Dave - That is helpful.

So, this type of visual isn't built into Logos? That seems odd. Is there a resource that includes this type of generational overlap visual media?

Don't know ... I got tired of the kitchen-sink approach in Logos media. I'm not surprised about pre-Abraham with Logos. Though Moses has his problems too.
