Family Tree Diagram

Family tree diagrams are used to visualize the connections between family members. They are the best representation of one's ancestry and vary greatly based on their purpose, structure, and the amount of information they present.

Famous people family trees

Famous people's family trees have always been of interest to society, yet they are not made simply to satisfy human curiosity. Most commonly the family trees of famous people are created for historical purposes, including historical documents, documentaries, and others.

Simple family tree

Creating a family tree is a task often given to pupils. While hand-drawing those family trees is often encouraged, nowadays kids also receive credit for the capability of drawing a well-structured family tree with a diagramming tool such as MyDraw.

Simple family trees as the one below are also suitable if you are looking to create something which will be printed in a frame or even wallpaper.

Detailed family tree

Some family trees are created very detailed and include not only the people's names and dates of birth/death, but also additional information, such as marriage dates, divorce dates, dates of immigrating to another country, contact details, etc. Each detailed family tree can vary greatly, based on the information which its creator wants it to reflect. Since detailed family trees can become very messy, the additional information of each member can be shown in a tooltip when the viewer hovers over the icon/picture of each person.
