What a genealogy chart is

“Genealogy (from Ancient Greek γενεαλογία (genealogía) 'the making of a pedigree') is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. The results are often displayed in charts or written as narratives.”

When to use a genealogy chart

  • Family

    Trace a family from one person down through each marriage to the children.

  • History

    Put the dates next to every name, so you can see who lived when.

  • Music

    Some families passed on a craft: four of Johann Sebastian Bach's sons became composers too.
