Each generation is centered on the page, so a family that grew unevenly — four children on one side, one on the other — still reads as balanced instead of drifting to a corner.
How you build one
You do not lay this chart out yourself. You describe your family in ordinary sentences — “my dad is John”, “his parents were Robert and Anne” — and each person is placed as you go. When the family is in, you choose Centered chart as the shape and pick a style.
Free to build, no account needed to start.
