Your Family Tree Genealogy: Choosing the Correct Family Tree Charts for Your Family Search
How do you determine which type of family tree you want before you begin researching? Everyone putting together a family tree is faced with certain choices. Who to include in the family tree? How am I going to build my Family Tree? These are all important questions that will determine the type of family tree you decide to build. Visit www.obituarieshelp.org to download a free printable family tree template chart so you can get started right now.
When you are researching your family tree, you may just start out by finding out about grandparents and great grandparents but to find out who they really were and to find out those little, but important facts, you might want to consider broadening your research. There are several ways that you can do that, and below you'll find out about all the different family tree models that you can follow.
What is a family tree chart?
A family tree by definition is a diagram of a family's ancestry. So in essence it is a map or chart showing the members of a family, their relationship to one another and even the dates of birth, marriage and death. But a family tree is so much more than that. Or it can be. A family tree, depending on the type of tree you choose to create could include all the relatives, spouses and even friends and neighbors of a family.
The types of Family Tree Charts
Mapping out your family tree is a time consuming activity that involves close attention to detail and a desire to find the answers to those burning questions of who am I? And where did I come from? Before you begin, you need to know that not all family trees are made the same.
Pedigree, Direct Lineage or Ascendant Family Tree Chart
The Pedigree Family Tree Chart is sometimes called a Direct Lineage or Ascendant Family Tree. This is perhaps the most common type of family tree and the one most people think of when referring to family trees. The pedigree family tree begins with you (or a parent, or grandparent) and then follows a single bloodline or family name back through the generations as far back as you can go.
If you are researching your pedigree with both your mother's and your father's bloodline, your pedigree chart would start with you, then your parents would be listed, then both sets of grand parents would come next, then all four sets of great grand parents and so on.
If you are researching your father's surname and bloodline, the pedigree chart starts with you, then next on the chart would be your parents, then your father's parents, then your grandfather's parents and so on.
In any case, the pedigree family tree chart is the most common and is an excellent starting point for budding genealogists and for anyone interested in tracing their family history and their direct bloodline.
Descendant Family Tree Chart
A Descendant Family Tree Chart is the opposite of the Pedigree Family Tree Chart. This type of family tree chart starts with an ancestral couple pretty far back in the family history and then lists the descendants of that ancestral couple generation by generation until the present. Usually the Descendant Family Tree Chart is created after the Pedigree Family Tree Chart is complete as a way to illustrate all known descendants of all lines of the family. The Descendant Family Tree Chart can then become the outline for writing the family history.
Family Lineage Family Tree Chart
The family lineage family tree chart is similar to the pedigree family tree chart but for one difference. In a family lineage family tree chart, you would include the siblings of your direct lineage or pedigree. So you would include your aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles and so on. This gives a more complete picture of the family rather than just focusing on your direct bloodline.
Family lineage family tree charts are very helpful in identifying your family members and helps to keep all your ancestors organized. It also is an excellent way to find out about relationships between members of your pedigree and their siblings which can lead to you finding out more interesting facts about your family.
Where to Start?
If you are just starting your genealogy search you might consider developing a Pedigree Family Tree Chart before you get too deep into your research. One problem that novice genealogists encounter is they get excited about the research and end up losing track of who and what they are researching. Although the research always turns up interesting facts and stories, you might get frustrated that you wasted time or didn't get to the ancestors you had hoped to find in the time you allotted for research. If you keep track of names, dates and places of your direct family line on a Pedigree Family Tree Chart, you are less likely to get confused and go off on searches you don't need to do.
Free Printable Family Tree Charts
Get started right away by downloading a Free Printable Family Tree Chart from www.obituarieshelp.org. Then begin by filling in all the information you already know like your name, your parent's names, your grandparent's names and so on. Now you have the beginning of an excellent Pedigree Family Tree Chart and a guide for your research. Your first research step after filling out the Pedigree Family Tree Chart as much as you can, is to interview your parents and grandparents if possible and don't forget that aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings are a good source of information too. Good luck and have fun!

making actual 3D model (e.g trees, plants) with limited material?
Can anyone tell me how to make 3D model of plants (trees) from simple "recycled" material like cardboard, BBQ stick, tissue paper, cotton wool, etc.?
A couple of the simplest ideas are:
Grape stems and a bit of moss can make excellent miniature deciduous trees like maples, elms, etc.
Cut a green scrubbing sponge into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch strips and light coat with a lighter paint for instant hedges.
If you look closely at some grasses, they resemble small trees. And some of the cheap dried bouquets you find at a dollar store have coloured baby's breath and the like that can be used for that purpose.
Good luck with your project!
