Descendant Chart Maker
In short: A descendant chart starts with one ancestral couple and shows every child, grandchild and great-grandchild below them — the chart families print for reunions. Start from the template, add each family with + Son / + Daughter and + Partner, then share the link with the whole family or print a large poster.
How to use it
- Rename the founding couple.
- Add their children, then each child's partner and children.
- Center on the founders to see everyone below.
- Share with the reunion group or print a poster.
Reunion tip
Send the free view link to the family group chat a week before the reunion and ask everyone to send missing names and birth years. With Family Plus, give branch leaders the edit link so they can add their own families.
Frequently asked questions
How do I show only the descendants?
Center the chart on the founding ancestor (double-click them). Everyone below them is drawn as their descendants.
