A Family Tree Of Reading

- Sayak Karmakar

Many people are not aware that there is a concept called Family Tree. Thus the first question that will come into the mind of people reading this article will be “what is a family tree”? A family tree is actually a chart that maps the generation of a particular person, as far back as records can allow. The tree starts from the current generation and then move backwards till it ca count. It can also be termed as the storehouse of generation from the current to the oldest possible generation.

A family tree, otherwise known as pedigree chart can be defined as the representation of family relationship in a chart in a structural way which is otherwise known as tree structure. One of the most important uses of a family tree is for documenting the ancestry of a family. The patterns for most of the family tree charts include a box for each individual and each box is further connected to the others to figure out the blood relationship. With addition to the individual’s name, the boxes also include dates, birthplace, and other information, depending on the type of relationship pattern and also the complexity of the family tree diagram. A family tree chart is usually organized into a single level as it will be easy to interpret the ancestors or the predecessor of the individual linking all through the chain of the family tree. A horizontal line between two boxes indicates a marriage. A bracket from a couple to a lower set of boxes is used to show the off springs from a marriage. Most of the family trees are vertically designed yet some may take the shape of horizontal tree.
