i need help on drawing something out will begin with a couple named John and Jane. They should be drawn in the middle of the page and connected with a horizontal line.
On a pedigree this shows that they have had children together.
2. Jane and John have two children, a boy and a girl. Their oldest child is a boy so he will be drawn on the left and the symbol for the girl will be drawn on the right. They should be drawn as branches off of a line that is connected to the line between their parents.
3. Next, work out the information on one member of the couple. We will start with Jane. She is the oldest of three girls, so we will put her sisters next to her at the same level on the page and connect them with branches from a common line above. This shows that they are siblings.
4. And of course, these three women have parents, so we will put them connected to each other directly with a horizontal line and to their children by a vertical line.
5. The only other information we know about Jane's family is that her youngest sister is married and has two daughters. To show this we connect the sister on the far right to a male with a horizontal line and we show their children as branches off of a vertical line. These children should be drawn on the same level on the page as the children of John and Jane because they are all in the same generation.
6. Now we move on to John's side of the family. He is the youngest of four children. The oldest is a boy, followed by a girl, then another boy, and then John. We connect them as branches off of a single line to show that they are siblings.
7. Next we put in John's parents.
8. And finally we add that John's oldest brother is married with one son. To show this we connect him to a wife with a horizontal line and draw a line down to their son. Notice here that the line does not have any branches because they have just one child.
9. Now the pedigree is complete with all the information we have. All the people in the same generation should be level with one another on the page.
10. Both John and Jane have dimples, but neither of their children do.
11. The only other people on Jane's side of the family to have dimples are her father and youngest sister
12. On John's side of the family, his mother, and sister have dimples.
