With the numerous generations involved in the 5 Generation Pedigree Chart, there’s a need to use a readable chart and standardized symbols to present information. For instance, you can use a series of lines to indicate a relationship in a pedigree.

The horizontal lines in a 5-generation pedigree chart connect parents while the vertical lines lead to offspring. If a specific parent has numerous siblings, they fall under the same horizontal level and are primarily listed in birth order. Essentially, this chart should have five levels representing different generations.
