A family tree is a chart representing the relationships and dates of birth of family members, often reaching back many generations. Family trees are usually drawn out with the oldest generations at the top, descending to the more recent generations. The study and tracing of family members is known as genealogy. Hobbyist genealogists usually work out the ancestry for themselves or their loved ones.
