To give you an example for the next generation, this is a tree for Mary (Mattimore) Elwell. The FAN VIEW shows her as the root person in the center circle and her ancestors fanning out from there. Her paternal side is on the left and her maternal side on the right. This chart would be the same for Mary’s siblings — Joe, Richard, Dan and Hank.

If you would like your own family tree with YOU as the root person, let me know and I will send it to you.
