When you research your genealogy, there can be a lot of information to record and keep track of so it makes sense you will need a method of organizing your findings. Before you download the family tree templates and start to add your information, it is important that you understand the principles behind these family tree charts.
Descendant charts are more commonly used when you are trying to find the first person in your family to live in a particular country (immigration records are vital) or live in a particular region (county records).
Free templates can be found online at many sites. The three most common formats are the traditional tree shape, the chart format and the more unique fan shape. Personally, I like the fan shape because it is not seen nearly so much as the traditional tree shape.
The Pedigree Chart (also referred to as: Ancestral or Box Chart) This is an example of a family tree in its most simplistic form and uses lines that branch out, without the graphics and added niceties that many other charts will use. This format is particularly important for recording the details of each generation in your research. Most entries on this chart will contain, date of birth and death, place of birth and death and marriage date.
Ascendant Charts Ascendant is defined as "inclining or moving upward," "ancestor." Simply put this family tree chart is used to feature your ancestor. The first space at the bottom of the chart is for your information. Then you trace your family history back through the generations. There are two types of ascendant charts: i. Pedigree Chart, and ii. Ahnentafel - German ancestry table.
