A genealogy chart is a diagram showing family relationships across generations.
The most common form is the family tree, with ancestors branching upward or descendants spreading downward from a single individual.
Other formats include pedigree charts focusing on direct ancestors and descendant charts tracking all offspring: She traced five generations on her genealogy chart.
