Definition: A family tree is a diagram that displays the different generations of people belonging to a family. It contains additional information such as dates of birth and death, education, jobs, diseases, etc.
Examples of family trees created with LinkNotions
Here are various templates of Family Trees ascending cognatic (by fathers and mothers):
- Family tree with ME at the center
- Family tree with ME at the center with 1 brother and 1 sister and married
- Family tree with ME at the center with aunts, uncles, cousins
- Family tree with ME at the center with half brother/sister
- Family tree (extended) with ME at the center
(Click on one of the texts above to access the corresponding template)
The templates are useful:
- To discover how people are called in relation to Me, in several languages: French, English, German and Luxembourg.
- To serve as a template for creating your family tree (see below).
In the extended family tree you will also find an explanation of the terms of kinship. Examples:
- My first cousin = The daughter of my father’s (or mother’s) sister (or brother)
- My maternal grandfather = My mother’s father
- My father-in-law = My spouse’s father
Here is a page that explains the vocabulary of family relationships.
