Their advantage is that they show lots of detail, but the disadvantage is that it is very cumbersome to find relationships amongst the family. It may include small or large amounts of biographical detail for all or only the more prominent members of the family. There are different kinds of numbers and letters used for different generations, and you may get all the boys first then the girls because it was important to identify inheritance of titles and so on. You will meet this form in older works, especially peerages and it is half-way to a family history. All those of the same generation have same number, as seen below, but they will be in order of birth. These usually only include names and dates of birth and death. The first two types described below are very economical of space, each generation being indented from the previous one, but they are rather stodgy to read, especially for non-genealogists. There are really two types, computer-generated lists and artistic efforts. Older texts may refer to these as Descent Type Pedigree Charts, which is an oxymoron as the term pedigree refers to the blood-line ancestors.Īll Descendancy Charts have to be custom made because every family is different, unlike pedigree charts wherein everyone has 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents and so forth.
