Branches
In this genealogy 6 family Branches (sometimes called Lines or Pedigrees) are defined. Each branch is one person (the Hub) together with his or her Ancestors, or Descendants, or both. Members of a branch (and optionally their spouses) are labeled to show which branch(es) they are in and their relationship to the Hub. This provides visitors a useful aid to navigation.
