Family tree examples
Every family has its own shape.
Explore a few ways a family tree can look. These fictional examples include several generations, blended relationships, and wide family branches—so you can see more than a simple parent-and-child chart.
These sample people are fictional. Your own tree starts blank and is saved in this browser.
Choose a starting point
Blended · multiple branches
A blended family
Show partners, children from earlier relationships, and children connected to both parents. Families can include many kinds of parent and partner links.
Wide · many branches
A growing family archive
Start with one branch and expand over time. Add siblings, partners, children, and more generations as you learn new details.
Make the tree fit your family
Distanty lets you add as many relatives as your story needs, with optional photos, dates, nicknames, places, and notes. Choose a design and download a free PNG or JPG; print-quality PDF and SVG exports are included with Keepsake.
Start with the relatives you know. You can leave unknown dates blank, add people later, and include different parent or partner relationships. The examples above are only starting points; your family does not need to fit one standard shape.
