MY FAMILY TREE

WHAT IS A FAMILY TREE

Definition: a genealogical chart showing the ancestry, descent, and relationship of all members of a family or other genealogical group.

LAYMAN’S DEFINITION

A family tree is a record of family members and relationships. It records the names of individual relations and describes their connection. This information is charted down through a series of lines and connections that branch out from the earliest known relative or source. These branches link together to form what is figuratively known as a "tree."
