The "standard" form of pedigree chart will typically have four generations
on a page - showing the "starting person", then:
- Their Parents
- Their Grand Parents
- Their Great Grand Parents
Each entry will have abbreviated data on birth/christening, marriage and
death/burial details.
To extend the pedigree, each of the great grand parents on the right hand
side would become a "starting person" on a sequence of continuation pedigree charts.
An attractive enhancement is to have photographs of each individual on the
pedigree chart included - at least as far back as photographs can be obtained.
This is a further form of pedigree chart that can more comfortably fit 7 or 8
generations on a typical page and is colour coded for the main grandparent paternal
and maternal lines - although having reduced information on each individual,
provides a better instant impression of the overall pedigree.
