Pedigree Charts
Pedigree charts are very useful tools for genealogists of all levels. These charts show the direct ancestors, such as parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. They may be found in 3-generations, 4-generations, 5-generations...up to 15-generations plus. They may be presented in several ways.

Most pedigree charts use a numbering system. Number 1 is the person of reference. Number 2 is for the father, number 3 is for the mother, numbers 4-7 are for the grandparents, numbers 8-15 are for the great-grandparents, etc. Even numbers are used for the males and odd numbers for the females.

Each generation is doubled in regards to the number of ancestors.
