Pedigree Chart

Pedigree ChartYou can use a pedigree chart to record your family history details, as illustrated in the sample chart. You can download a blank copy of the Pedigree Chart [PDF 192 KB] in Adobe Acrobat version. Download the free Acrobat Reader Software [www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
readstep2.html].

Record your own information as person number one, your father as number two, your mother as three, your father's father as four, etc. Enter as many details as you know, such as full name, dates and places of birth, marriage and death, even if that information is only approximate.

The chart is helpful to show your basic ancestry. If you visit Library and Archives Canada or another genealogical research centre, the consultants can see at a glance the information you know and advise you about sources that may assist you in locating missing details.
