Family Tree

A family tree, genealogy chart, or pedigree chart is a visual representation of a person’s lineage. It depicts the family relationships in a tree structure with one individual as the root. A family tree allows tracing common ancestors, overseeing the lineage of each individual family member by tracing the branches leading from him to the root.

Typically, a family tree includes detailed information for each individual family member, the dates of birth, marriage, divorce, death, and much more events from the individual's life. It can also include more detailed information like data from the medical history. These family trees are known as genograms or medical genograms.

A family tree is useful to:

Your family story begins with your family tree and if you are interested in your ancestry and want to trace it, it is recommended to create a genealogy tree. A family tree diagram is a perfect way to record the relatives who make up your family history, places, occurred events, all useful information related to your family. Start with the names of yourself and close relatives, and then extend your diagrams with more ancestors.

Example 1. Family Tree

The family tree can be constructed as downward from the oldest generation at the top and becoming wider at the bottom. And vice versa it can show the ancestors at the bottom and the newer generations at the top. In some charts, an individual is placed on the left and his ancestors on the right. All is up just to your taste and desire.
