Description

Produces left-to-right pedigree of person and three generations of ancestors (all manually inserted unless "Get" can be used)

Instructions (but if you can't work out "1" and "2" go down a couple of sections)

(1) Copy and paste blank form:

{{4GenPedigree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|}}

(2) Fill all known lines. An easy way to look at it is with the Ahnentafel numbering system shown here, with even more help below that.

{{4GenPedigree
| 1 = 
| 2 = 
| 3 = 
| 4 = 
| 5 = 
| 6 = 
| 7 = 
| 8 = 
| 9 = 
| 10 = 
| 11 = 
| 12 = 
| 13 = 
| 14 = 
| 15 = }}

Parameter descriptions added for even easier reference; you may copy this and put each name right after the last arrow in its line:

{{4GenPedigree
|<!--1 = Self -->
|<!--2 = Father -->
|<!--3 = Mother -->
|<!--4 = Father's Father -->
|<!--5 = Father's Mother -->
|<!--6 = Mother's Father -->
|<!--7 = Mother's Mother -->
|<!--8 = Father's Father's Father -->
|<!--9 = Father's Father's Mother -->
|<!--10 = Father's Mother's Father -->
|<!--11 = Father's Mother's Mother -->
|<!--12 = Mother's Father's Father -->
|<!--13 = Mother's Father's Mother -->
|<!--14 = Mother's Mother's Father -->
|<!--15 = Mother's Mother's Mother -->}}
