genealogical chart
Ancestry mapping diagram
A genealogical chart is a diagram showing family relationships across generations—who descended from whom, who married whom.
The most common form is the family tree, branching outward from ancestors to descendants.
Charts may also work backward from an individual to trace lineage: She traced her genealogical chart back five generations.
