This page aims to assist Wikipedians working with biographical articles containing family trees.

The most common way is to display a family tree on Wikipedia is as an ahnentafel by Template: Ahnentafel. However, there are other options.

This page originated in examples taken from a discussion on the Village pump in March/April 2005 (see Talk page). It has since been updated to use later created templates.

Ahnentafel

The simplest way to include a list of ancestors is the Ahnentafel. This is a standard for genealogists, but it is hard to understand for people who have not seen it before.

William, Prince of Wales (born 21 June 1982)
Charles III (born 14 November 1948)
Diana, Princess of Wales née Lady Diana Spencer (1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997)
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (10 June 1921 – 9 April 2021)
Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022)
John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer (24 January 1924 – 29 March 1992)
The Hon Mrs Shand Kydd née The Hon Frances Roche (20 January 1936 – 3 June 2004)
...

Ahnentafels can be displayed as horizontal trees using Template:Ahnentafel:

{{ahnentafel

|boxstyle_2=background-color: #fb9;

Tree chart templateedit

Template:Tree chart can be used to construct simple (or incredibly complex: see Japanese imperial family tree) using an ASCII art-like syntax:

{{Chart top|My family tree}}
{{Tree chart/start|align=center}}
{{Tree chart| | | | GRM |~|y|~| GRP | | GRM=Grandma|GRP=Grandpa}}
{{Tree chart| | | | | | | |)|-|-|-|.| }}
{{Tree chart| | | MUM |y| DAD | |DAISY| MUM=Mum|DAD=Dad|DAISY=Aunt Daisy}}
{{Tree chart| |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| | | }}
{{Tree chart| JOE | | ME | | SIS | | | JOE=My brother Joe|ME='''Me!'''|SIS=My little sister
       |boxstyle_ ME=background-color: #bfc;}}
{{Tree chart/end}}
{{chart bottom}}

My family tree

Grandma

Grandpa

Mum

Dad

Aunt Daisy

My brother Joe

Me!

My little sister

{{Tree chart}} can also be used to create a Continental European style bottom to top layout for an Ahnentafel tree, or just as easily a top down (not shown)

{{Chart top|width=100%|European style family tree bottom to top (William, Prince of Wales)}}
{{Tree chart/start|align=center}}
{{Tree chart| |boxstyle=background-color: #bfc|Ah8|v|Ah9| |Ah10|v|Ah11| | |  |Ah12|v|Ah13| | |Ah14|v|Ah15|
  |Ah8=8. Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark |Ah9=9. Princess Alice of Battenberg
  |Ah10=10. George VI|George VI of the United Kingdom |Ah11=11. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
  |Ah12=12. Albert Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer  |Ah13=13. Cynthia Spencer, Countess Spencer|Lady Cynthia Hamilton
  |Ah14=14. Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy  |Ah15=15. Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy|Ruth Gill}}
| | | | |!| | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | |!}}
{{Tree chart|boxstyle=background-color: #ffc;| | | |Ah4|-|-|v|-|-|Ah5| | | | | |  | |Ah6|-|-|-|v|-|-|Ah7 
  |Ah4=4. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark |Ah5=5. Elizabeth II|Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom

  |Ah2=2. Charles III|Charles III of the United Kingdom|Ah3=3. Diana, Princess of Wales|Lady Diana Spencer}}
{{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |!}}
{{Tree chart|boxstyle=background-color: #fcc;| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Ah1  |Ah1=1.'''William, Prince of Wales'''}}
{{Tree chart/end}}
{{Chart bottom}}

Note: any letter number combination that is not reserved as a tile descriptor in {{Tree chart}} can be used. In this example Ah1...Ah15 is short for Ahnentafel1...Ahnentafel15

Trees using {{Tree chart}} are usually displayed collapsed to alter that so they display expanded add the parameter: |collapsed=no to {{Chart top}}

Ahnentafel-chartedit

A similar use of {{Tree chart}} can be used to construct a top down tree, but there is a template ({{Ahnentafel-chart}}) that can be used to display bottom-up or top-down family trees using {{Tree chart}} that is simpler to construct:

{{Chart top|width=100%|European style family tree bottom to top (William, Prince of Wales)}}
{{Ahnentafel-chart|top_down=1
 |1=1. William, Prince of Wales
 |2=2. Charles III|Charles III of the United Kingdom
 |3=3. Diana, Princess of Wales|Lady Diana Spencer
 |4=4. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark
 |5=5. Elizabeth II|Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom  
 |6=6. John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer
 |7=7. Frances Shand Kydd|The Honourable Frances Roche
 |8=8. Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark
 |9=9. Princess Alice of Battenberg
 |10=10. George VI|George VI of the United Kingdom
 |11=11. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
 |12=12. Albert Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer
 |13=13. Cynthia Spencer, Countess Spencer|Lady Cynthia Hamilton
 |14=14. Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy  
 |15=15. Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy|Ruth Gill

Tree listedit

Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:

{{hidden begin|border=1px  #aaa solid|title=Demonstration tree|ta1=center}}
{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
** Another second level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
{{Hidden end}}

which produces

Demonstration tree

A first level branch
- A second level branch
  - A third level branch
  - Another third level branch
- Another second level branch

For an example see the following template link {{Houston family tree}}. For more details on this method see the following template link {{Tree list}}. The templates examples include "Descendants of Herny VII of England" and "Ancestry of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge".

Trees using {{Tree list}} are usually displayed collapsed to alter that so they display expanded add the parameter: |expanded=true to {{hidden begin}}

Ahnentafel-treeedit

The template {{ahnentafel-tree}} uses {{Tree list}} and will handle up to an ahnentafel of 511 places (9 generations), but will also display as little as one generation.

{{Ahnentafel-tree
|title=Parents of subject
|1=''subject''
|2=''father''
|3=''mother''
}}

Parents of subject

1. subject

- 2. father
- 3. mother

Tablesedit

Main Help:Table

A family tree can also be displayed using tables, by showing borders on selected cells (note that this does not work properly on all browsers).
