Chart shapes
The same family can be printed as a chart, a pedigree, a fan or a typeset record. Each shape shows a different part of the family.
Centered chartEveryone, with each generation centered so the page stays balanced.
PedigreeDirect line only — no siblings, partners or children. Exactly symmetrical.
Family recordGenerations set as columns of type, gathered under braces, with botanical corners.
Classic lineageNames only, in spaced capitals, each family gathered under a curly brace.
Family fanEveryone, swept into a half circle from your oldest known ancestor.
Heirloom fanAn inked ancestor fan with a drawn tree at its heart and your names signed below.
Ancestor fanDirect line only, as a half circle. Best when you know several generations back.
