Charts for blended families

[JBee]

My half sister is asking me for help for charts for a photo book she's compiling but unfortunately there are so many blended families in her tree.

She's been married twice as has her husband and all her five siblings - even her mother has had 3 partners. Not sure about her step-children but nieces and nephews have followed the family trait.

So where on earth do I find such a complex chart.

I've googled blended family trees but they don't seem to cater for multiple blended families lol.

I assume she wants a descendants' tree, starting from (say) her mother?

The old fashioned pedigrees, with increasing margins for each generation would cope with most of the detail. But it would look very dull.

How does she want to present it? I'd probably do a basic tree for her immediate family - parents and siblings, then another six for herself and each of her siblings. Otherwise, as you say, it starts to get very complex. If she gives everyone a unique number, puts the numbers in the captions to the photos, and provides an index, it'll help everyone work out relationships.

She isn't planning this for Christmas, is she?

No Phoenix she asked me months ago and I directed her to the genealogy printers as they're the experts but looks like she hasn't contacted them.

She hasn't really said what she wants so I'll send her loads of options from the google results for blended family trees.

I have a sub for tribal pages but haven't got her extended family on it yet but might give her some charts she wants.
