Ancestral Charts

 

Here are just two examples of Ancestral Charts.

 

The first is a fairly standard Bottom-up chart, but placed on a photographed background, and showing not only direct ancestors, but also their siblings.

 

Bottom-up Chart

 

This chart can be produced with a different background photo, or no photo. It could also be produced as a Top-down chart, with the subject on the top

 

 

The second chart shows a Left-to-Right ancestral chart, this time with photos of the individuals, and again against a picture background. This is a more graphical version of the standard Pedigree chart.

 

Left to Right Chart.

 

Fonts, colours, backgrounds and layouts can be readily changed on an Ancestral Chart.
