When to use a family tree

  • Family

    Draw your own family: each couple in one box, with a line down to their children.

  • History

    Follow a famous family through time, like the Curies, with their dates beside each name.

  • With kids

    A good way to explain cousins and grandparents to a child: point at a box and follow the lines.
