A descendant chart starts with one couple at the top and branches down through their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Type your family into the included Descendant Chart Maker and it lays out the tree, with spouses beside each person, and sizes everything to fit the page.
The Maker runs offline in any web browser and nothing is uploaded, so your family's details stay on your computer. Or print a blank 3 or 4 generation chart and write it by hand.
What's included
- Descendant Chart Maker: up to 5 generations below the couple and 16 children per family
- Landscape or portrait; it rearranges the layout to keep names as large as possible
