Online Family Tree Charts
by Justin Reyes ProfessionalWhat are family trees?
Pedigree Charts or family tree charts are diagrams or drawings or pictures or mechanisms of representing familial relations in the structure of a tree. Through these charts, one can trace one’s genealogy and ancestry over multiple generations and figure out one’s relationship to each individual. Ancestry charts are usually spread out like a tree in full bloom while descendancy charts widen as they go down. Ancestry charts are perfect examples of perfect binary trees while a descendancy chart eludes a regular and uniform structure.
The thematic varieties of these family trees are numerous: one might be an etching of the descendants of a singular figure while the other might be a comprehensive diagram of all the members with similar surnames. Such trees are also created to depict the successive line of office holders or inheritors who might or might not be related by blood. The most commonly used charts include the pedigree chart, the 5 generation pedigree chart, the picture pedigree chart, the bowtie chart, the kids’ chart, the usual family tree chart, the Grandma’s box chart, the fan chart, the race horse thoroughbred pedigree chart (for horses), family group record sheet etc.
Family trees online:
Although, generations have spent time and energy carefully preserving archaic family charts and maintaining the same with sincere passion, one can easily create one’s family chart online nowadays. One usually gets their family tree for free or has to pay some amount for extra and special services in the maintenance of the chart in the virtual world. Sites dedicated specifically to this create what are now known as ‘web trees’, which keep track of one’s family, its growth, its additions and subtractions etc. They make use of genealogy software that collects the date and place of an individual’s birth, death, marriage etc. and displays information about the various relationships between multiple members of the family. Some software also allow for the input of unconventional relationships like homosexual partners or children born out of wedlock. One can order for a chart of one’s choice, convenience and aesthetic taste.
Services:
Sites offer a variety of services along with the basic ones. They automatically generate charts and trees for each name, which can be printed and preserved as a hard copy. They also allow for already existing family trees to be imported as GEDCOM files. Maps are also provided within the family chart, which include the place of birth of various ancestors, their travails and other such geographical and spatial details. A directory of sorts can be maintained as well wherein important events, birthdays, anniversaries, phone numbers etc. of each member can be recorded and viewed at a moment’s notice by any member with web site access. These sites also send newsletters to members from time to time, which can be customized as per taste. These newsletters usually contain important news, which is to be conveyed to all members, birthday or anniversary reminders, reminders of previously held important occasions for memory’s sake and recently updated pictures of various members. The privacy and security controls are always in the hands of the administrating member who monitors all the updates and the growth of the chart.
