Overview

Second Site supports a variety of chart types including multiple forms of pedigree and descendant charts, relationship charts, DNA charts, and timeline charts. A subset of those chart types are included in this demonstration site. DNA Overlay Charts present DNA evidence in a descendancy-chart format and are shown on a page with other DNA-related features.

Most chart types can be configured to have their own page, or they can be mixed with other content on a Custom Page. The charts that are linked from this page are an example of the former, and the charts that appear on this page are an example of the latter.

All Second Site charts can be restricted to include only the people who are included in the site, or expanded to show a subset of people not included. So, for example, you can include everyone who is part of the site, and everyone in your TMG project who is not included in the site and is not living.

Most charts support an additional filter that you can use to restrict a chart to a designated subset of the tree. So, for example, you could create a chart that showed descendants of a progenitor who emigrated to another country.

Most charts also support Accents, a facility where you can use distinctive formatting to call attention to specific chart entries. So, for example, in a Descendant Chart, you could use an accent to highlight your direct ancestors.

Pedigree Charts

Second Site supports two forms of Pedigree chart: box and indented. There are multiple flavors of the box charts where the positioning of the boxes for the prior generations varies. There is only one variation of the indented chart.

Follow the links below to see examples of pedigree charts. Both charts show the same people to highlight the difference between the two formats.

Descendant Charts

Second Site supports two forms of descendant chart: box and indented.

The following link opens a page with a large indented descendant chart.

The following small descendant box chart is for the same progenitor as the indented chart linked above. It has been inserted on the page to show how charts can be mixed with other content. The chart embedded here is limited to 3 generations.

Relationship Charts

Second Site supports relationship charts that show the lines of descent between two people with a common ancestor. You specify two subjects and Second Site determines the relationship and creates the chart.

In the following example, one subject (Maud H. Lawrence) is a direct descendant of the other (Mary Millet).
