More Information:
On
this chart you can show relationships
between multiple generations of a family and
trace your ancestry by following back in
time along a particular family line. The
most common family tree chart displays five
generations of family data on a single page.
This chart only shows your ancestors-those
people from whom you are descended by blood.
You will notice there is no room on a family
tree chart for siblings, multiple marriages,
or social family connections. This
information appears on the
family
group chart.
Begin at the left
of the page with an individual (you or your
child or parent), then branch out to the
right to show parents, grandparents, etc.,
including dates and places of births, deaths
and marriages. If you are the "subject" of
the family tree chart (which is designated
as Chart No. 1), you are assigned the number
1. Your father is No. 2, your mother is No.
3, your paternal grandfather is No. 4, and
so on. Family tree charts usually have
complete information on three generations of
ancestors for an individual, with the names
of the members of the fourth generation plus
a reference to succeeding charts, where
vital information on them is recorded.
This commonly used numbering system for
pedigree charts is called an "ahnentafel" by
genealogists, after the title of a book
where it was first used. By looking at a
chart you can see that the number for any
individual's father is 2 times that of the
individual and that person's mother's number
is 2 times plus 1. With the exception of No.
1, who can be either male or female, all
even-numbered persons are males and all
odd-numbered are females. The spouse of No.
1 is not assigned a number.
