How to build your family tree correctly. Family lineage

Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever in which the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to be given to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What are the safest medicines?

Most people sooner or later think about who their ancestors were: nobles, peasants, merchants, and maybe royal blood flowed in some individuals. Perhaps the craving for the art world is due to the fact that the great-great-grandfather was an artist? After such reasoning, some firmly decide to find out as much information as possible about their roots and create their own family tree. Some have enough information gleaned from the stories of relatives, while others go further, right up to a trip to the lands of the ancestors and visiting their burial places, because tombstones may well become sources of valuable data. Consider the nuances of searching for information and the principles of drawing up a pedigree.

You should start by finding and collecting information about all of your ancestors. This information can include their full name, dates of birth, marriage, service and death (its cause is also important, since it can be a hereditary disease), class, place of work and position, name of the educational institution that they graduated from, whether he was baptized, a description of his appearance and character, and so on. Ask your relatives about this, study the family archive (annotated photo diaries, letters, various certificates, labor, military cards, diplomas), make copies of all available documents. Organize the information already obtained, you can start keeping a pedigree book or a list, a search diary, which you can supplement with the data obtained later. Thus, you will not get confused by the information found. You can also enter a questionnaire for each of the relatives you find, in which you will enter other information - religion, habits, data on awards and achievements in certain areas, hobbies, information about his friends and other items as you wish. You will need to look for the missing information in libraries at the place of residence of a certain ancestor, in federal and municipal archives, registry office, military archives, on historical sites and genealogical portals. Try to get extracts from house books, study parish metrics. You should send requests to those archives that you cannot reach on your own. And in the local area, you can ask the staff for help in compiling a genealogical certificate (for a fee). In cases where the search for an ancestor may be of historical value, contact the Russian Genealogical Society (Moscow, Sadovaya St., 18). If you cannot or do not want to search and collect information on your own, use the services of specialists in this field. Read more about this. You can order this service. Keep in mind that this pleasure is quite expensive. After receiving all the data, start compiling your pedigree. You can arrange it in several ways: in the form of a generational list, a family tree, or a table. It is worth resorting to the first option if you have collected a lot of information. Assign each line in it to a separate generation, and assign individual numbers to all members of the pedigree. The second option is simpler in the form of a tree. The root is the founder of the genus, and the trunk, branches and leaves are all descendants. The free Family Tree Builder makes it easy. Download it from the official site. You can choose a schematic picture of a kind in the form of a table. Make a pedigree, starting from the proband - for whom it is being done, that is, you. Depending on your gender, mark with a circle (female) or a square (male) with an arrow. Next, put the symbols of sisters and brothers, by seniority, from left to right, connect them with a graphic rocker. Above, designate the parents by connecting them with a marriage line. Here (a little to the side) depict the symbols of their closest relatives or spouses. Then, on your line, indicate cousins and cousins, then second cousins, etc., connect them with moms and dads. Above the parents, draw the line of grandparents. Mark children and nephews under your side. Then continue along the ascending line.

According to the popular scientific definition, a pedigree is a list of generations of the same genus, establishing the origin and degree of kinship. But in human life, the meaning of genealogy is much broader, because the family tree connects us with the historical process, allowing us to feel like an integral part of a single stream of successive generations.

Therefore, speaking about the genealogy, we often mean the whole complex of knowledge, united by the concept of "family memory", which includes both the biography of the clan and fragments of the history of the ethnos and the country as a whole.

What is the family lineage for?

Today, the study of the history of the genus, the compilation of a pedigree has gained extraordinary popularity - as if we want to fill the gap of the previous decades, when knowledge about ancestors was not encouraged, and sometimes fraught with danger. Today, there are all the opportunities for studying family history, however, it is important to define the purpose more precisely.

Family genealogy is studied to:

find out the history of your family, the origin of the surname;
find out the characteristic features of a kind, its geography, main occupations and interests, how the ancestors lived and what they owned;
find distant relatives with whom the connection has long been lost;
find out everything about your ancestors and pass this information on to descendants;
learn about hereditary predisposition to diseases and the possibility of their prevention;
restore family traditions and traditions;
confirm the facts of relationship;
and other purposes.

Stages of drawing up a family tree

1. Genealogical examination

Before starting searches in the archives, it is necessary to clarify the data and determine the prospects for research. Therefore, we suggest starting the study of pedigree with genealogical examination.

Genealogical examination is carried out in order to:

collect and systematize information that all relatives have about their ancestors;
restore, as far as possible, missing data from open sources;
make a sketch of the family tree;
determine the prospects and the search algorithm.

Genealogical examination is usually carried out according to the family branches of one of the parents, according to the branches of both parents, as well as according to the family branches of the spouse's parents.

collecting data, interviewing all relatives, checking and replenishing information (on average, it takes 4-8 weeks);
entering data into a specialized program for the purpose of systematization, building a family tree - occurs simultaneously with the first stage;
examination of data - the sufficiency of information for in-depth research is determined, archival institutions for work, primary clarification of the safety of information; on average it takes 4 - 8 weeks and occurs after all the necessary data has been received;
in parallel with the examination, requests are sent to the archives in all family areas (clans);
an algorithm and an estimate of in-depth research are drawn up - analysis of the information received, clarification of the cost, timing and prospects for further archival research for each genus;
registration of work results, drawing up a pedigree tree, providing a report.

Average terms of this stage- 3 - 6 months.

As a result of the work on genealogical examination, you get:

family tree printed on photographic paper in the form of a diagram, complete with a tube for storage;
a brochure printed on design paper with a generational painting - it contains all the information about ancestors and descendants, including photographs, copies of documents and local history information;
deep research algorithm and plan;
estimate of follow-up studies;
a flash card with copies of all documents, a database in GEDCOM format and a tree in a special program "Tree of Life".

Only in our country the genealogical examination is separated into a separate stage in the general budget in order to optimize expenses.

2. Genealogical research, searches in the archives

Often we do not even suspect how much interesting information about our ancestors, regardless of their class, is stored in modern archives. In pre-revolutionary Russia, the preservation of genealogical knowledge and its systematization was of great importance - all information was on the guard of property and estate law.

House of family traditions "Christian" carries out professional searches in federal, regional, departmental archives, as well as in the territorial archives of pre-revolutionary Russia. The exact "road map" of research is drawn up at the previous stage genealogical examination.

An archive search is carried out in order to:

to identify the most ancient ancestor according to the documents preserved in the archives (the so-called "documentary bottom" - for each genus it will be different);

restore information about the years and places of birth of blood ancestors, find out their class and
religion, dates of baptism, names of godparents, dates of weddings, etc.;
restore biographical information, information about the service, labor activity, etc.;
using a number of documents to restore the cultural and historical context of their lives;
get copies of real documents on your ancestors (birth registers, marriage, death; revision tales, marriage searches, family lists, track records, etc.)

The process consists of several stages:

the work of a specialist in the archive with primary sources (metrics, revisions, confession lists, settlement lists, etc.);
work in the archive with other documentary sources (for obtaining additional historical, local history information, immersion in the historical context);
ordering photocopies of found documents;
analysis of the information received, the formation of a research report.

As a result of an archive search, you get:

research report in printed and bound form, which contains a description of the search, copies of the documents found, a complete generational list of the research conducted, the conclusions of historians about significant facts of family life (birth, baptism, education, marriage, property ownership, etc.), local history essays about the localities from which this or that clan originates, hypotheses about individual facts based on the analysis of documents;
complete family tree of the family in the form of a diagram;
a flash card with records of all the above-named materials.

In past centuries, the study of the genealogy of families was not done out of idle curiosity - it was dictated by necessity, most often as proof of belonging to an ancient and noble family.

Genealogy, being an applied historical discipline, has its origins in antiquity, when a person was required to certify his origin and social status.L. M. Savelov - the Russian scientist-genealogist of the early twentieth century defined genealogy as “evidence of kinship that exists between persons who have a common ancestor or descendant, built on reliable documents and other sources,” as well as “the history of one kind or another in all manifestations of the life of its representatives, as public and family. "

In ancient Rome, patricians in wealthy houses had portrait galleries of sculptural images of all ancestors in the male line. In the feudal era, confirmation was required not only of the origin and antiquity of the clan, but also of its purebredity.

During the Renaissance, pedigrees are officially documented, and the first genealogical collections are formed. Later, genealogy becomes a full-fledged scientific discipline closely related to heraldry and diplomacy.

In pre-revolutionary Russia, estate and property law in many applied cases presupposed proof of origin and kinship. And the traditions of education in noble and merchant families demanded knowledge of their ancestors, their deeds and services to the family and the Fatherland.

Today, more than 95% of the population of Russia are descendants of peasant families, but this does not mean at all that there were no outstanding representatives and interesting events in the family. Almost in every family there are participants in the Great Patriotic War, in many - participants in the 1st World War and the Civil War. Many descendants of the glorious Cossack families live in the Kuban, the North Caucasus, the Urals and Siberia.

If you have a great desire to know your history, but not enough time or experience, you can order a family pedigree in a specialized company, where professional genealogy historians, local historians and anthropologists will help you restore your roots.

3. Recording the memories of relatives

Time is relentless - data in archives is lost, older generations leave, documents deteriorate, old photographs fade.

Recording the memories of relatives, stories of older generations about traditions and significant events in family history help to preserve family memory for posterity.

The interview is conducted by an experienced journalist, and the recorded texts undergo literary processing and systematization. Memories can be arranged in a separate brochure, or can be included in a large book about family history.

4. Compilation of the family tree and its design

The family genealogical tree can be arranged in the form of panels, paintings, diagrams, shezhere.

Once you've got all the data, you can start thinking about the design of your family tree. It can be the most democratic scheme on paper, a painting on canvas, or a carved panel - it all depends on your wishes. In addition, coats of arms, images of sights of those areas where heirlooms originate, fragments of maps, photographs, decorations, etc. can be used.

Design tree diagram

The basic version includes:

systematization of all information by a specialist historian;
development of an individual tree layout;
design and printing on photographic paper (dimensions 61 x 300 cm);
or design and printing on foam board (sizes from 56 x 84 cm to 1200 x 1200 cm).

Painting

The family tree is executed by a professional illustrator in watercolor and / or engraving technique, after which it is reproduced on canvas by scanning and high-quality plotter printing.

Folding tree

The folding tree is a compact, convenient for storage and transportation option for decorating a pedigree. This design of the family tree of specialists was inspired by the tradition of the design of maps of the railways of the Russian Empire in the middle of the 19th century.

Crafted from handmade paper and framed in a leather cover, the tree map is not only aesthetically pleasing, but can also be safely stored in the family library.

Carved panel from the massif

It is a design option, unique in its beauty and effectiveness, using the technique of 3D wood carving. An array of teak is used for the panel. Information icons are made of aged brass. Pre-treatment of wood with oil guarantees eternal safety from drying out and from damage by pests. If desired, an LED strip is held inside the frame.

5. Writing a book about the history of the family

The entire completeness of the data obtained can be formalized in the form of a genealogy book containing a literary story about the history of the family, from the most ancient known ancestor to the present day, photographs, copies of documents, memories of relatives, family legends, a description of family traditions, branded culinary recipes and all that what you wish to leave as a souvenir to posterity about the history of your family.

Such a book, which has absorbed all the most precious, will become an invaluable Encyclopedia that will be passed down from generation to generation.

Format- 350 x 350 mm.

Types of registration:

leather binding;
calico binding;
individual photo cover;
reconstruction of an antique edition of the 19th century;
individual sketches.

How much does it cost to find out your family's pedigree?

Only in the House of Family Traditions "Christian" the genealogical examination is allocated in a separate stage in the general budget - so that the customer does not pay for the expensive research before it becomes known that:

research and searches are in principle possible;
how much the final cost of services will be.

The need to know one's roots, relatives, ancestors, to take care and attention about them, live in the subconscious of every person. Responsibility for the fate of the family and relatives is a huge force. The feeling of pride in one's family strengthens family ties, gives confidence in one's own strength and a worthy future, and serves as an impetus for new achievements.

To compile a pedigree, some enthusiasts go not only to the archives, but also to the graves of their ancestors, because even a tombstone can be a valuable source of information. About how, when drawing up a pedigree, not to lose sight of a single detail and grow a real family tree.

We conduct a survey of relatives and friends

Compilation of a pedigree must begin with a survey of relatives and friends. Your goal is to gather as much information as possible about your family history. Surnames, names, patronymics, places of residence and at least approximate years of birth, marriage and death of relatives, their class affiliation, place of work, service, study, etc. within two or three generations - every last detail is important.

The value of memories for building a family tree is obvious. They provide a lot of information that is not in official documents: habits, appearance, character, attitude to life and work. Older relatives can name the place and time of birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial, social origin.

Advice. In order not to miss anything in the subsequent compilation of the pedigree, it is better to record the stories on a dictaphone.

Examining family archives

To get an objective picture of the data, it is necessary to analyze the archival documents stored in the family. For this, letters, diaries, photographs (well, if they are annotated), birth, marriage, death certificates, diplomas, work books are suitable. Examining old family papers on close examination will help to obtain information about who the closest ancestors were and how they lived.

Advice. All documents found should be sorted, copied to avoid loss and ensure proper storage conditions.

We enter information in the diary

Genealogists recommend keeping a search diary when compiling a pedigree, which reflects the results of a survey of relatives, as well as information that will be found in the archives later. This is important for at least two reasons.

First, genealogical research is usually extended over time. The answer to some queries may come six months later, when you have already lost the logical chain of all your searches.

Secondly, with an active search, the flow of information can turn out to be so large that there is a danger of getting confused or missing what has already been found. Therefore, it is very important to note from which source you received this or that information.

Correctly formatting search results

From the very beginning of work on the pedigree, one must be able to correctly arrange the found material and create a well-thought-out system for storing it. To organize the collected biographical data, it is recommended to create personal dossier- a questionnaire for each of the known relatives.

Information about representatives of the genus should be brief, concise and contain the necessary minimum:

Full Name;
Place of Birth;
years of life (date and place of death, place of burial; if a grave is preserved, you can take a photo of the tombstone, especially if the dates of life are indicated on it);
title;
rank (place of service, work, ranks, positions);
profession (professional achievements, published works, existing inventions);
awards.

Relative questionnaire can be supplemented with the following information:

religion;
class affiliation for those born before November 1917 (from the nobility of such and such a province, from merchants, petty bourgeois or artisans of such and such a city, from the clergy, from peasants, from Cossacks, etc.);
the presence of real estate (estate, house, dacha, etc.): where, in what years;
place of residence in chronological order and in accordance with the administrative-territorial division for the required period of time;
date and place of marriage: place of wedding or civil registration of marriage; premarital surname and origin of the spouse; time and place of birth of children;
iconography (for pre-revolutionary photographs, it is important to note in which city and with which photographer the picture was taken);
all revealed information about a given person (written and oral memoirs, letters, postcards, diary entries, etc.).

At first, most of the points listed will remain empty and unclear. However, over time, there will be significantly fewer white spots in your pedigree, and each person will gradually acquire its own unique biographical appearance.

In the conditions of an extreme information deficit in which a researcher has to work, even the seemingly insignificant information can become the key to a biographical discovery, and therefore to the next step in the search for his roots.

Exploring the archives

How can official archives be useful in compiling a pedigree? The archive documents contain information about the activities of local and estate self-government bodies, election to elective offices, awarding state awards and conferring honorary titles.

There is general information about the history of towns and villages, about the composition of the population, trade and business, charitable and other activities of the most famous representatives of the region.

The archival funds also contain rare photographs, documentaries and audio recordings.

The work on collecting information of a personal nature in state and municipal archives must begin with clarifying the affiliation of the settlement with which the life of the person you are interested in was connected to this or that volost, uezd, province, and in the Soviet period to this or that village council or district. Without this, you will not know which region or municipality archive to apply for information retrieval.

We go to the reading room

You can search for information for a pedigree yourself, working in the reading room. You will be provided with reference and search tools for archival documents and editions of the reference and information fund. If your search is successful, you can rewrite, copy, or get a certified extract from the document.

We turn to professionals

To establish kinship and research family history, you can send a request for genealogical information to the archive. In this case, specialists will be engaged in the search for pedigree connections - for an appropriate fee. Such an archival application can be made in free form. It sets out a request to confirm a fact or provide information about a specific person.

Remember that, in addition to state and municipal archives, archival documents can be stored in museums, organizations and various departments. Therefore, feel free to plan a trip to the local history museum, because it is there that you can come across a useful document that can suggest the idea of what materials can be ordered from the archive to compile a pedigree.

The local library, which has a periodical room with old newspapers and magazines, will also help with genealogy searches. Bibliographers - specialists in the search for information on a given topic - will provide invaluable help. Explore encyclopedias, address books, autobiographies, memoirs, and the region's press. In addition, the library funds may contain special genealogical reference books, which are indispensable for compiling a pedigree.

Creating a family tree for your family is a fun activity that will help you get to know the life of your ancestors, hear many interesting stories about relatives, and simply rally with your family in the process of searching for information. The finished family tree will be a wonderful gift for a loved one or a great home decoration. Read how to make a family tree with your own hands in the article.

Selection of information

A family tree is essentially a list of relatives in a hierarchical form based on years of life. Before compiling such a tree, first of all decide how far into the generations you want to know the information.

There are several ways to find the information you need:

Survey. First, collect basic information that your family, neighbors, and acquaintances can provide. Ask about the places of life, work and study of the ancestors, dates of birth, death, character, ask for a photo. In a conversation, you will find out what kind of person the ancestor was.
Exploring the Family Archive... It is good if your family has old photographs, notes, letters or diaries. These records will become a valuable source of information that relatives have not been able to remember. Study the generic archive carefully.
Drawing up a preliminary diagram or table... Fill in the data obtained in the table or draw up a diagram. So, see what data you are missing.
Study of reference books and state archives... The rusarchives.ru archive contains a vast amount of documents that will help determine the ancestors' belonging to a particular class, find out about the positions held and the awarding of state awards and honorary titles. The archive also contains old audio recordings and photographs. But keep in mind that contacting the fund is possible only after obtaining permission from the local administration, which will give access to the regional and federal archives.
Visit to the district library... Here you will find archival documents, newspapers, reference books. They will make it easier to recreate the family tree.
Visiting museums... There may also be information about ancestors.
Non-state archives and private detective agencies... These organizations collect data about people for a fee.

Having collected the necessary information about your ancestors, proceed to the design of the family tree of the family.

Schemes

Family trees are:

After choosing the type of the future tree, decide on the information that will be contained in it and the design scheme.

Family tree design schemes:

Branches... A variant of an ascending tree, where the place in the center below is reserved for the child (tree trunk), and the branches rise upward and represent relatives.
Roots... Descending tree variant. Above in the center is a photo of a common ancestor, and the branches of relatives diverge downward. This scheme makes it possible to reflect a large number of relatives, including cousins and second cousins.
Butterfly... The scheme is great for reflecting the relatives of a couple. A pair is depicted in the center, and the branches of ancestors diverge from it in the appropriate directions. The "butterfly" scheme allows not to depict separately the relatives of the husband and relatives of the wife.
Hourglass... It makes it possible to portray the relatives of an elderly couple. In such a scheme, grandparents are key. Upward from their image branches of their ancestors, and downward descendants - children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Fan... This reflection of family ties is the best space saver and the easiest to implement.
Circle.

Relatives data

The amount of data about relatives depends only on the desire and purpose of compiling a family tree.

If you have an idea to visually show your child your relatives, to make something pleasant for your loved ones, or if it’s a craft for school, then the surnames, names and photographs of the next of kin are enough.

If you want to create a full-fledged historical document, you should additionally indicate the dates of birth and death, place of birth, profession and other data. If possible, find photographs of as many ancestors as possible, this will make the family tree informative and interesting. In the cells of relatives whose photos you did not find, place a picture of the family coat of arms so that the places do not look empty.

Design features

Before sketching, imagine what the tree will look like or watch a master class on how to create it. Correctly calculate the number of branches required, the distance that will be required to post photos and information about relatives. Use a pencil to mark up the sheet so that you can easily correct any inaccuracies later.
Frame the tree and locate the center piece on the tree trunk. Draw a place for the photo and information about the person.
Go to the second tier - direct descendants or ancestors (depending on the selected tree option). Place data about people of the same generation on the same level with each other. For siblings, include the details of spouses and children. In this case, keep in mind that information about the spouse is indicated next to it, and the data of the children is slightly lower under them.
As the size of the tree grows, do not forget that each branch has 2 meanings: it shows the connections between generations and relatives, and also decorates the composition. Therefore, be creative when depicting branches, but do not overdo it so that connections are visible.
When the tree layout is ready, the decoration remains. At this stage, let your imagination unfold and design the tree to your liking. You can make a tree in the form of an applique by gluing a textured trunk and branches, separately glue photos and fellings with information about relatives, and make the leaves voluminous by cutting them out of colored paper. You can simply paint the image of a tree with paints, leaving space for pasting photos and entering information. Another option is to print an image of a tree on photographic paper, stick it on a prepared sheet, and separately paste the data of relatives.

Tree options

Programs and online services

If you do not want to waste time on compiling and designing a family tree with your own hands, use special computer programs.

Online services allow you to order the production of a family tree or arrange it yourself. To do this, select an empty template with places for photos and information. After filling in the family tree, all that remains is to download the finished image to the computer and print. Popular services: myheritage.com, familyspace.ru, vgd.ru/generezis_content.html.
Editors... They are downloaded to your computer and allow you to independently draw and fill a tree with information. Some of them have ready-made templates that can only be filled in like a picture or a table. In some programs, you can attach not only a photo, but also a video or audio recording to the data about a relative. In all programs for each family member, you can fill out a questionnaire with data and even a description of their appearance and interesting facts from life. Popular programs for creating a family tree: SimTree, Family Tree Builder, RootsMagic, GRAMPS, GenoPro, Tree of Life.

Each person should know the history of his family in order to have an idea of his origin, status, historical value. However, not everyone knows about their relatives beyond grandparents (at best). Today, it is becoming fashionable to compose your own pedigree, the so-called family tree (the program will help you do this in a colorful and visual way). This scheme is called a tree due to the fact that many relatives "grow" from one person, like the crown of a tree.

What you need to compile a pedigree

The first step to compiling a pedigree is to gather information. This can be helped by a program for building a family tree, in which you can determine possible related lines by surname. However, it is quite clear that it is difficult to find your relative by last name, therefore additional information is needed to find the right person.

A genealogical card is drawn up for each relative, it contains a list of data that must be provided.

Sources of information about relatives

It is necessary to arm yourself with writing materials and turn to relatives in order to write down not only the surnames, names and patronymics of relatives known to them, but also the place of residence and other information about the life of relatives, their social activities, participation in global events.

With the information received, you can go to the archive and, for a fee, track the data on the movements of the members of the clan. For the employee of the archive, the dates of birth and death of a person are important. If the exact information is not known, at least an approximate period should be indicated.

The information you need may end up in old family records, so you should consult the written sources. Older people have a penchant for recording important events, including information about ancestors. It is quite possible that you can find your distant roots in the notebooks of grandmothers.

Basic and additional information in the family tree

The main, that is, mandatory information is data on birth and death, all other data obtained is called secondary.

The data obtained during the collection of information may be necessary only at the stage of searching for relatives, however, special merits or status can be indicated directly next to the data about this person on the family tree. For example, information on the number of marriages may seem superfluous at first glance, but at the same time, if children are born in each of the marriages who are already relatives to each other, then when posting information about them without mentioning each marriage, the tree will look incorrect.

How the tree builder works

The program for creating a family tree has several forms of information presentation, which will be discussed further. Information is stored in a specific format, a single sample. Therefore, the program for compiling a family tree allows you not only to enter data directly into this program, but also to import it from another.

In addition to basic information, the tree may contain photographs, dates of birth and death, and other important information (at the discretion of the components).

The necessary data is entered into the program, after which the tree can be printed or saved in the most convenient form for the user. By compiling a family tree, the program allows you not only to obtain the necessary information, but also to arrange it in its original form. This allows you to make the tree an original gift for relatives on any memorable family holiday. There is more than one program for compiling a family tree, there are quite a few of them. Although they work the same way, some may find it more convenient to use the Tree of Life, GenoPro, or Family Tree Builde software. You can save data both within the program and use online compilation, and then the tree will be saved on a computer or other device.

Usually, the program allows you to create a family tree of a family quickly enough, it has a convenient, simple control.

How can you imagine a family tree

The traditional way of presenting information is a schema. A family tree, the program for which has several templates for saving data forms, can fit the diagram into a tree or other colorful shape. The scheme in which the coat of arms of the family will be placed looks much more solemn.

You can display the data as text information, or you can add only photos, without signatures. By the location of relatives on the diagram, you can understand the degree of kinship of certain people.

The data can be presented as a bottom-up, mixed-flow diagram along the vertical axis.

Similarly, information can be presented on a horizontal plane, but with a large amount of data, it will look dull.

In addition to a schema, one of the types of information presentation is a table. Information in this form is more difficult to assimilate, nevertheless, this type of tree is also used.

Types of family trees

It is possible to draw up a diagram from ancestors to descendants, for which they take the most distant ancestors and then branch off relatives from them. This allows you to find relatives, for example, on the maternal side. In this case, the program builds the family tree of the family in such a way that brothers and sisters, including cousins, will be located on the same line. This type of data presentation is used quite often and is a classic

The program for creating a family tree also makes it possible to build a tree from a specific person (component) to his ancestors. It is impossible to supplement such a table in the future, but it has a more complete form. In this form, the program compiles the family tree, taking into account both maternal and paternal relatives.

Only the successors of the clan, that is, men, can be added to the tree. Such a tree has a linear appearance, but it is much less common.

Make your own family tree

We continue the section "Needlework" and the subsection "Do it yourself" with the article Make a family tree yourself. The article is based on a PowerPoint presentation, which can be downloaded from the link almost at the end of the article. Using the same link, you can download the sources for creating a family tree with your own hands.

Make a family tree yourself - this is a thematic interesting article that continues the subsection "Genealogy", where we touched on genealogy from a business point of view. But making money on this (or losing it) on genealogy is not necessary, especially since any family can carry out basic operations on their own. By the way, for reference:

Many psychologists, according to professional observations, describe those who do not know their relatives and their family history as less confident in life and, as a rule, have big internal problems. Knowledge of pedigree certainly includes knowledge of the interpretation of your surname. Still, it doesn't hurt to know in detail what is our personal identifier, what we hear every day and pass on to our children as an inheritance.

You can make a family tree of a family yourself in several ways. Of these, the most common:

The first way is to do it virtually, on a computer.
The second is to make it in reality, from a variety of materials at hand.

We will describe both methods, and start with the first.

Creation of a virtual family tree.

Variants are also possible here. One of them is to turn to many free and not so much sites and communities where you can register and create your own tree with pleasure and using the built-in tools. Some communities even offer the function of "crossing" different family trees of members in order to find relatives.

The second option is to create a family tree using a computer editor (photoshop, corel, paint). As an aid, you can use the article "Computer collage". And also the following sequence of actions:

We go to the Internet and look for a suitable picture with a tree for the implementation of the task. In a few days (weeks), you will find many different options, some of which will form the basis of your design creation.
Next, we methodically prepare photographs of our relatives. In this case, it is advisable to limit yourself to direct ancestors and their spouses, otherwise you will have to look for a completely different picture of the tree.
Then we place them in a tree using any graphics program in which you enjoy working. You can add inscriptions under the photos, even mark the place of birth or some historical events (for example, resettlement and connection with a noble family).
You can also draw a timeline along the side of the tree. This will clearly show the development of the genus against the background of history. You can also add your family coat of arms (if you have already acquired one), rare family photos, a small information on the history of the family, a link to your personal website on the Internet.

That is, showing imagination and a little time, you can make a beautiful family tree on a computer. And then - at will - print it on a large sheet of paper. But this can be a problem, since professional printing involves high resolution drawings and photographs (300 pixels per inch), and if pictures and photos are of a lower resolution, then they may not look very nice when printed. Therefore, in this case, if you want to materialize the family tree, it is better to use the following sequence.

Creating a real family tree

In this case, you are doing nothing more than a collage, so to improve the quality of your work, you can use the articles "Beautiful postcard in 5 minutes" and "Collage - how to do it?" Below is an example of creating a family tree from a piece of wallpaper, felt, photographs and patience. You will also need thick cardboard to fit the wallpaper, double-sided tape and glue.

The sequence for creating a real family tree is very simple:

Draw the outline of the tree (roots, trunk and branches) with soap on the felt and cut it out.
Cut a piece of 50 x 60 cm from the wallpaper. Stick the cut wallpaper onto the cardboard using glue or double-sided tape.
Place the felt wood over the top and glue all the thin parts of it with glue.
Cut the excess protruding parts to the size of the base. Spray your photo frames by placing them in a box with high sides to keep the area from splashing.
Frame your half finished collage. Glue green yarn (thread, felt) imitating foliage with glue to the top of the tree.
Insert photos into frames. Place them in the middle of the collage. Place your baby photos at the top, and your grandparents at the bottom. Glue all frames to the family tree with glue.

Thus, it is very easy to prepare a family tree.

The question remains - how to fill the family tree?

Well, the simplest option is three generations:

grandparents
mom-dad
and children.

But you can make it even cooler. You can dig a little in the archives (old grandmother's photo albums) and conduct interviews (talk to grandparents). Usually, such a conversation makes it possible to go 4-5 generations deeper.

And finally, we suggest you download a small presentation (fully automatic) about the family tree. Simply and clearly (because for children) the basic terms are explained and the sequence for creating a family tree with source codes is given. You can download the presentation at the link: family tree.

How to draw a family tree

Looking through childhood photos or listening to stories of parents, you can involuntarily become interested in your pedigree. Even in ancient times, it was composed in the form of a family tree: this is a convenient way of presenting information. The compilation of a pedigree is even asked to schoolchildren, so you need to know how to make a family tree with your own hands.

What is a family tree

The very concept of "family tree" is a list of people who are related to each other by kinship. The enumeration takes place in a hierarchy based on the years of life of people and who they are to each other. On the trunk of a tree, a married couple is indicated, standing at the head of the clan. Then their children, grandchildren and cousins are placed. At the same time, generations are on the same level. This option is classic, when the construction goes from ancestors to descendants.

In addition to the main option for how to draw a family tree, there are several more:

Personally on my own. Parents, grandparents, and other relatives act as branches. This is convenient because the whole family is indicated along the line of only one person. It will be difficult to supplement such a tree.
Family tree. In this case, relatives on the paternal or maternal side may be indicated separately, because the names of the spouses before marriage were different.

There are many sites on the Internet where you can find special family tree templates. After downloading and printing them, you just need to fill in the empty spaces with photographs of relatives according to the indicated location. It will look more neat if you use Photoshop. To do this, you need to open the template in this program and insert photos there. The recommended layout format is png. This is an extension for pictures that are very convenient to work with in Photoshop.

DIY family tree

How to draw a family tree with your own hands? To do this, it is better to divide the work into several stages. The first step is to find out about all the relatives. This is the most crucial stage, because the amount of information determines how complete the finished database will be. If you suddenly miss someone, then the meaning of the tree will be partially lost. If the collection of information was successful, then it remains to choose the option of constructing the scheme - personally from yourself, from the founder of the genus, or several surnames at once.

Before drawing up your family tree, it is worth making a preliminary diagram of all relatives, distributing them according to the degree of kinship. The main thing is to decide how many generations back you plan to go. For owners of a large family, it is better to limit themselves to the closest relatives and not to enter great-uncles and grandmothers, otherwise, you can expand the family tree and make side branches in it. They will serve to record more distant relatives - cousins, sisters, grandparents.

There are a lot of concepts of kinship: in addition to blood, they reflect marital or spiritual relationship. In the first case, people have a common ancestor, in the second, they are married, and in the third they include such forms of kinship as nepotism and twinning. The main thing is blood - several degrees of kinship are distinguished in it. One of them represents the generation, the chain of which already forms a line.

Such a chain includes as many degrees as there were births in the family, i.e. son or daughter - first degree, grandson or granddaughter - second, etc. Each of them must follow each other in order. It turns out that the construction goes through generations - from the oldest to the youngest, or vice versa, if the scheme is carried out personally from oneself. On the main branch, all siblings, grandparents should be indicated, and on the side branches - cousins or second cousins. So the distance between relatives will reflect the distance of their relationship.

How to build a family tree

If a rough diagram with a list of relatives is ready, you need to decide how best to draw a family tree. There are several options here:

Classic, when the main carrier of the surname is indicated at the bottom of the trunk. In most cases, this is a married couple, for example, grandparents or great-grandmother and great-grandfather (you can go even further). Next, all their children, grandchildren and other relatives are listed in order. It is better to place your line on the main branch, i.e. the one by which you will come to your parents and specifically to yourself. The side ramifications will house cousins and second cousins.
Personal tree. In this version, you yourself act as the basis, i.e. family tree compiler. Next come the parents, grandparents on both lines, etc. This will be the main branch. On the side, it is worth reflecting the sisters or brothers of the parents, their children, grandchildren, etc.
Family tree. This option is the most voluminous of all. Here you can reflect several names at once. It is interesting for the compiler himself to trace the line of the father and mother. Before marriage, they bore different surnames, but in relation to their children, they have the same degree of kinship. For this reason, it is interesting to compose the tree so that one half of the branches reflects the relatives of the father, and the other half reflects the mother.

How to make a family tree in graphic editors

There are special programs for compiling a family tree. Some of them are free online services where you can order or independently fill out a blank sample with places for photos. All that remains is to add pictures, download and print, if necessary. Another option is to download a graphics editor to your computer and work in it. Among such programs are SimTree, RootsMagic, GenoPro, Family Tree Builder, GRAMPS. The Russian analogue is the "Tree of Life".

Each of the programs has a set of specific functions that help draw and then print a tree. Most of them already have templates to fill out. They represent a table with cells or a picture. Some applications even offer to attach not only photos, but also audio or video recordings. For each family member, it is proposed to fill out a questionnaire, where basic information about him is indicated, up to a description of his appearance or interesting facts from his biography.

How to draw a family tree of a family with your own hands

You need to start with how many and what generations you plan to draw. This is necessary in order to know in advance the number of branches in the tree. After this step, use the instructions on how to draw a family tree:

Draw a thick trunk using a soft, simple pencil so that you can erase the excess.
Depending on the type of tree, write at the base of the trunk with the full name of one or more people. These can be parents, grandparents, or your child or yourself.
Next, draw twigs a little higher for the rest of the relatives. Arrange them correctly - so that each next generation is slightly higher than the previous one.
Draw as many branches as you know relatives. Consider the size of your sheet so that all those you want to specify will fit.
After finishing the placement of all relatives, erase the extra lines, and circle the necessary ones fatter. At the end of the design, use colored pencils to brighten the drawing.

How to make a family tree of a family correctly: how to work, tips, diagrams and videos

The issue of compiling the genealogical tree of the family was considered relevant at all times. However, few people try to solve it on their own. They are afraid of not knowing their genealogy, which is a big mistake. Without understanding anything in this matter, you can try to solve it. Ask why is it necessary?

First, to know the history of a kind. Secondly, it is a way to find out about all your relatives. Perhaps one of your ancestors was a great scientist, a famous politician, or just a popular person. And what is not the reason: to satisfy your curiosity. Let us consider below the solution to the question: how to correctly compose the family tree of the family.

How to create a family tree

In the era of the development of technology, making a family tree is not difficult. You need to go to the Internet, select the required program and install it on your computer. The "Tree of Life" program received good reviews, which reveals in detail the entire technology of how to correctly draw up a family tree of a family.

The tree of life program

So which step should you take first? Start with yourself. Open the downloaded program for compiling a pedigree tree, enter into it data about yourself, then about your immediate environment. Supplement the entered information with photographs. It happens that there is too little known data. Then you should go to a personal meeting. If you have a voice recorder, take it with you.

The meeting should be individual, everyone should not be gathered together, this can lead to polemics, a long discussion. Unnecessary conversations, noisy disputes will only take up time, upset the nerves, make it difficult, but not help to find the answer to the question: how to correctly draw up a family tree of the family.
Start your survey with the older generation. They have a lot of knowledge. Old people will deeply plunge into the past. To use your time efficiently, so as not to overwork them, make a list of questions ahead of time. As an example of a questionnaire, the following might be:

place, date of birth;
when, where did you study;
where and when they worked;
with whom they were in a marriage relationship;
how many children, their names, dates of birth;
where, when he died, if someone is no longer alive;
and so on in the same way.

If someone has skype, communication can be built using this program. This will save time. And it is not always possible to visit everyone. Carrying out communication in a chain, moving from one to another, you can find all the relatives. If some data is not enough, there is always the Internet. You just need to know about whom to look for information.

The respondents themselves can provide good help in finding all relatives. The story about the family tree should interest them, I think everyone is interested in learning how to correctly draw up the family tree of the family.

There are times when many relatives have died, then the archives will help. You can make a request there via the Internet or go and rummage through the papers on the spot.

All information received must be carefully checked so that no error occurs, since there are many namesakes.

The scheme of drawing up a family tree

So, the material necessary for work has been collected, you can start building a family tree diagram. When using the downloaded program, follow the suggested prompts. When you decide to do without the help of the program, to do everything yourself, think over your work plan, the principle that you will follow.

There are several options for building a pedigree tree schema:

Father's line scheme

from the mother's side;
descending tree;
ascendant tree.

Ascending schema

You can build a pedigree in the form of a tree or a table.

When everything is thought out, take a Whatman paper and get to work. Place the one for whom the diagram is drawn up in the center. Divide the sheet into two parts, leave the left for relatives on the father's side, the right for relatives on the mother's side. Glue a pocket or envelope under each surname, where you put notes about this person, additional photographs.

Family tree variant

When they took up the scheme along the ascending line, and the type of it was chosen in the form of a tree, then the trunk will symbolize the main person. Branches extend from it in different directions. The big ones are the parents, the smaller ones are the grandparents. You can put a certain person on each leaf. Fantasy when creating a tree has no boundaries. The main thing is to preserve the accuracy of the data, not to distort it.

Before starting work, you need to think carefully about everything, study this issue from all sides. Then such work will easily turn into a hobby.

Genealogical family tree - free program

Convenient and to a certain extent free program for self-creation of a family tree. The program is integrated with its own site, which helps to search for relatives in family trees built by other users.

Every family, if you search well, will undoubtedly have a very long and interesting history. However, not all of this story can be remembered. Moreover, the average person does not even remember all of his relatives.

Usually such a memory is limited to memories of grandparents (at most, about one of the great-) ... But the history of a family can stretch its roots far into the past centuries, and sometimes even millennia !!! On the basis of interest in ancestors, the science of genealogy appeared - a systematic collection of information about the origin, succession and kinship of surnames and clans. In a broader sense - the science of family ties in general.

You don't have to be a scientist to do genealogy. Today everyone can capture and trace the history of their family. To do this, you need to have some knowledge about your ancestors, a computer and one of the special programs.

Let's take the Family Tree Builder as an example. This free application allows you not only to capture your family tree, but even find your relatives by comparing the genealogical trees of other participants in the international project, which the program opens access to.

At the moment, the Family Tree Builder project competes with another international genealogical project, Family Tree Maker:

Family Tree Builder vs. Paid Family Tree Maker

The paid project has a slightly larger database, but Family Tree Builder is quickly catching up with the competitor by providing an opportunity for each user to post information about themselves on their personal website! Thus, it can be considered not only as a separate program, but also as a kind of social network.

However, to access it, you still need to install the application, so now let's do just that.

Installing the Family Tree Builder

Open the downloaded archive and run the installer. In the first window we will be offered to choose one of 35 languages:

Select "Russian" and click "Ok", after which a standard application installation wizard will appear, in which you specify the required parameters, following the prompts.

If everything is done correctly, then at the end of the installation you will see the following window:

To continue working, we need to go through the free registration procedure on the project website. This will allow you to access features such as publishing a family tree on the Internet and finding relatives.

During the registration process, you will need to fill out several forms. The first one is mandatory:

Here you need to specify your personal data, e-mail address (serves as a login to enter the project) and a password to access your account. In the second questionnaire, you can fill in the fields with information about your place of residence, after which the registration will be completed, about which you will be informed in the window that opens.

Starting Family Tree Builder

Before starting the program, you will be prompted to pay for a premium account:

For more than $ 6 a month, we are offered an improved search for relatives, extended versions of the publication of family tree charts, as well as the ability to independently work with maps and tags on them. In addition, among other bonuses - the restriction on the number of entries in the family tree (on-line) is removed and the space for your family site on the Internet is increased.

However, you can do without any frills and continue using the free version of the program by clicking the appropriate link (see screenshot above).

Program interface

And now the Family Tree Builder working window will open directly in front of us:

On first launch, the program will often give us advice on how to create a new family tree project, which will allow us to quickly get used to it. First, we need to select the item "Create a new genealogical project", and then give it a name in English (you can transliterate).

At this stage, the preparatory stage will be completed. Now the program will offer to add a family with which the family tree will start:

To do this, click the corresponding button in the workspace and follow the prompts of the wizard that appears. In the first window, you will need to enter data about the husband and wife of the family being created:

Here, pay attention to the button with the image of a light bulb next to the item "Place". By clicking on it, you can specify the location of a particular settlement for its correct display on the world map.

After adding the first family, we will be able to specify the parents of the husband and wife, as well as the children of the given married couple. To do this, just click on the appropriate fields on the genus diagram. If you need to add other family members (brothers, sisters, etc.), then you need to select the desired option from the "Add person" list:

Pay your attention to the left panel with a list of family members. We can reflect this list in the form of a tree, distributed among individual families. This view can be useful when working with a large family tree:

Adding photos

As a matter of fact, up to this moment we worked with you in the first tab - "Tree", however, looking at the toolbar, you will find a few more additional sections. And the next one will be - "Photos":

If you created your first entries using the wizard, then you have already worked on adding photos, if not, then here you will be given such an opportunity. For each family member, you can add several photos by highlighting faces on them. And if you want, you can even create a small electronic photo album by sorting the desired pictures in the "Album" section (panel on the left).

In addition to photos, you can also add small videos, audio recordings and documents related to a specific family member!

Finding relatives

The next button - "Matches" - allows you to check the information about all members of your family with the content of online databases for the same records, which may indicate a relationship with other network users!

Who knows, maybe you will be lucky to find your distant relatives ...

If no matches were found, try doing a more thorough search using the following button:

Here, too, everything is simple. You can try to search for all the people in the tree, which can take quite a long time, or you can search for matches for each family member separately. However, there are some requirements and restrictions on the use of this search method. The requirements include the need to dub the name and surname in Latin, as well as the availability of additional information (date of birth, place of residence, etc.) in English.

A limitation of the free version is the impossibility of viewing search results (we will only see if matches were found and how many of them).

Family tree design

A truly useful and enjoyable feature is the ability to customize your family tree:

To access this function, use the "Charts" button. By clicking it, we can select the desired type of tree, and then arrange it in accordance with our preferences. For example, here's what the ancestor graph might look like:

The finished template can be slightly (or even completely) changed using the Styles and Options sections. Styles provide the ability to completely change the appearance of a family tree by choosing one of several design options. And "Parameters" allow you to customize certain decor elements in the selected style. The finished family tree can be printed or saved in JPG or PDF formats.

There is also a paid function of ordering a print of a poster, which can be presented as a souvenir to your loved ones!

If you do not need aesthetic delights, but just want to get clear information about your relatives, then you can use the "Reports" section:

For example, using the item "Relationships" you can see in what relationship with which family member you are.

The next item - "Maps" - will allow you to trace all the geographical coordinates associated with your family:

And finally, the last functional button is “Publish”. This button calls up a wizard for uploading your data to the Internet with the subsequent creation of your personal family site:

On this site, you can trace your entire genealogy, add media content related to your family, and run a small family blog. In addition, you can visit blogs of other members of the network, as well as gain access to some entertainment features. Among the latter, it is worth noting the game "Memory" (we select pairs of photographs of our ancestors), as well as services for finding similarities with celebrities and determining who the child is more like:

Family Tree Builder Pros and Cons

The only drawback is the need for an internet connection. However, if we take into account that the number of users without access to the Internet is rapidly decreasing every year, then this circumstance can be interpreted as an advantage.

Indeed, with the tools that this program possesses, we can not only create a detailed family tree of a kind, but also search for relatives on the Internet, communicate with other network users, exchange photos and videos, and even blog.

Try to work with Family Tree Builder, and you will find that creating a family tree can be not only routine, but also very enjoyable and fun process;)
