How does one Make A Family Tree for a messed up family?
How do you make a visible family tree (you know, like one that can go in a book) where there are so many divorces, remarriages and children from different parents.
Basically, how can I make a family tree with multiple spouses and multiple children from the multiple spouses? Thank you!
The good news is, each of those children has 1 set of birth parents.
I use Family Tree Maker software and Ancestry\.com, and both of those handle these issues very well.
Please note that the kind of tree you’re wanting to publish will dictate who is actually displayed on the tree. Let’s say you’re doing a descendant tree of one of your direct Ancestors. You and your spouse and any kids you have had would show up. But let’s say you have a female cousin (also a direct descendant of the person you’re doing a descendant tree from), who has been married 4 times. She would show up in the descendant tree, and so would each of her husbands, as would the kids she had in all 4 marriages.
If that female cousin’s first husband has also been married 4 times, his history won’t show up in that tree, because he will only show up once as a husband of your female cousin.
In other words, the type of tree and the primary person in that tree determine which individuals will be included in the actual tree.
The ancestry trees and descendant trees are “off-the-shelf” reports that you can create with the click of a couple buttons in Family Tree Maker. And you don’t have to worry about who’s a blood relative OR how many times anyone has been married or divorced!
I hope this helps!
