Perfect for

  • Descendants of Revolutionary War patriots
  • Lineage society applicants tracking their proof
  • America's 250th anniversary keepsakes

A line of descent shows one straight line through your family: the patriot of the American Revolution at the top, then his or her child, that child's child, and so on to the present. Each generation shows the person's name, birth and death dates and places, spouse, and marriage date and place, and the patriot's box adds a service line such as "Private, Connecticut Militia".

Type your line into the included Line of Descent Maker and it lays out a framable chart in an 18th-century style, sized to your paper. It runs offline in any web browser and nothing is uploaded. Fillable research worksheets help you track the proof for every generation.
