FAMILY TREE


    A family tree is a type of chart or diagram representing generations of families and how they are linked throughout the years.

    A family tree can include names, birth dates, marriage dates, and pictures. Family trees can be simple and just include your close family members, or they can go back many generations to enable you to see where you came from, who your ancestors were and how you are related to them.


A family tree could also be used to show:

• Direct descendants of a famous historical figure.

• All family members who share the same surname.

• Generations of holders of office who may not be directly related, such as Kings and Queens.


    Family trees are also a good visual representation of how close you are related to a member of your family. For example, you will be able to see that you are more closely related to your sister than your cousin, as you are closer to them on the family tree.


What is a tree structure?

     A tree structure or a tree diagram is a way of representing hierarchical data. This means data that is organized in a certain order on different levels. In a family tree, the data, in this case, family members, is organized with older generations at the top, youngest or current generations at the bottom, and those of the same generation, such as brothers and sisters, on the same level.

    A tree structure is used as a graphic representation to help make data sets easier to interpret and understand.


How to Make a Family Tree

    The easiest way to draw a family tree is to start with a family tree template. SmartDraw's family tree template starts with a basic family structure already on the page. You can use this to build on. There are easy-to-use buttons to add descendants, ancestors, spouses, and siblings. You'll want to decide what generation you want to start with. You can start with yourself and build backward or start with an older generation like great grandparents and build downwards.

• Decide how many generations you want to show.

• Start drawing from yourself backward or from the oldest generation downward.

• Each individual in your family will be represented with a box connected to others with lines that indicate relationships.

• Add descendants, ancestors, spouses, and siblings by clicking on the corresponding SmartPanel buttons to the left. SmartDraw automatically connects the boxes that are added or moved.

• In addition to names, you can also add birth dates as well as pictures, or anything else that would enhance your tree.

• To make your diagram easy to understand, each layer should represent a single generation.
