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 Family panels as the shape and pick a style.
Free to build, no account needed to start.
