![]() I’ve also seen a top-down chart to show descendants or a bottom-up chart to show ancestors. If it works for you, go for it.There’s also a more complicated “butterfly” chart with the subject person in the middle. I’ve seen charts that start on the right side but they don’t feel right to me. It provides a clear visual cue for gender.The chart always starts with a ‘subject person’ (you, for example), usually on the left side of the page. When I use Visio for this purpose I use rectangles with sharp corners (90 degrees) for males and rounded corners for females. Then enter text into the boxes to show the name, birth/death date or year, etc depending upon what you want to show. I guess you could use Photoshop or but they’re harder to update later or to generate a different chart.In Visio, for example, you can add boxes and connect them with lines. I wrote a couple answers the other day about “How do I make a family tree in Word 2021?” and “Does Microsoft Word have a family tree template?” so I won’t revisit those methods.You can also use a diagramming tool like Visio, Dio, Lucidchart or many others.
