Bowtie Family Tree

A bowtie family tree puts one couple at the center of the page. The husband's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents branch out to the left, and the wife's branch out to the right, so the chart shows both families coming together in one marriage.

Type your family into the included Bowtie Family Tree Maker and it lays out the chart and sizes it to fit the page, with an optional marriage line and the couple's children in a row underneath. It runs offline in any web browser and nothing is uploaded. Or print a blank chart and write it by hand.

What's included

• Bowtie Family Tree Maker: parents, grandparents, great-grandparents or 2nd great-grandparents (up to 60 ancestors)
• Optional marriage line above the couple and up to 12 children below
