Descendant Charts

 

Here are just 3 examples of the types of Descendant Charts that I can produce.

 

The first shows a plain style, with blue text, and no background. It is a traditional Top-down chart.

Top Down Chart

 

The second shows a Left-to-Right representation of the descendants of my Great-Great-Grandfather. This time, a background photo is used, and an element of colour coding is used to differentiate between the different generations.

Left to Right Chart

 

The third is a more complex style of Descendancy chart, showing the descendants of another of my Great-Great-Grandfathers. This used simple colour but amalgamates elements of the Top-down and Left-to-Right Chart styles with the textual Indented Descendants chart style. It is an ideal way of showing a large number of people on a single page.

Complex Descendants Chart

 

As with Ancestral Charts, these are almost infinitely configurable in terms of colours, fonts, background photos, and as well as the layouts shown, Bottom-to-Top and Right-to-Left layouts can also be provided.
