What you're getting

A family tree that preserves stories as well as names

This 12-slide Google Slides template combines relationship charts with the context that makes a family history meaningful. It includes generational views, branch stories, individual profiles, places, occupations, traditions, photographs, and a source record.

The Hartwell family is fictional. Replace it carefully, distinguish documented facts from family memory, ask permission before sharing sensitive personal information, and record where dates, names, and images came from.

Built for

  • Families preserving shared history

    Relatives organizing names, relationships, photographs, places, traditions, and stories across generations.

  • Students completing a heritage project

    Learners presenting family or community history while respecting privacy and varied family structures.

  • Genealogy groups sharing research

    Researchers communicating a branch, migration, source discovery, uncertainty, or next research question.

Getting started

Build the tree from sources, then add the stories

Family structures vary; use the relationships and language people choose for themselves rather than forcing one model.

  1. 1

    Set privacy boundaries

    Decide who will see the deck and which living-person details, photographs, and stories may be included.

  2. 2

    Verify core relationships

    Confirm names, dates, places, and links using records, interviews, photographs, and existing family research.

  3. 3

    Choose the clearest branches

    Split large generations or family lines across slides instead of shrinking one chart beyond readability.

  4. 4

    Add context and uncertainty

    Label oral history, conflicting records, approximate dates, migrations, work, and traditions honestly.

  5. 5

    Record sources and stewardship

    Cite documents and contributors, name the file custodian, and list questions future research could answer.
