Generation 1 (oldest)

The top row holds 5 people (2 men and 3 women). 2 couples are drawn here, all married. 3 sets of parents account for 11 children one row down; the largest sibling group has 6, and one has a single child.

Generation 2

There are 20 people on the second row (10 men and 10 women). 10 people joined the family through a partnership, with no parents drawn above them. Partner lines join 11 couples: 8 married, 2 divorced and 1 separated. 22 children descend from 10 sets of parents here; the largest sibling group has 6, and four have a single child.

Generation 3

The third row has 24 people (13 men and 11 women). 1 partner marries in from outside the family. The row contains 1 partnership (separated). One set of parents here has 1 child in the next row. Not every link is biological: this row includes 2 foster children.

Generation 4 (youngest)

The bottom row holds 1 person.
