Pedigree Chart Maker

A pedigree chart is a diagram that maps the biological relationships of a family across multiple generations. It typically starts with an ancestor at the top or center and branches downward to show children, grandchildren, and their spouses. Pedigree charts are used in genealogy, genetics, medicine, and legal contexts.
