I've done quite some mad Familytree stuff, and I find it jarring that noone's come up with an easier template yet.

The keys to Familytree (or its successor, Chart) are:
 * Draw it out on paper.
 * Go big. Shed all illusions that you can do a "compact" tree.
 * PREVIEW. A lot.
 * Redo half your work. Twice.


 * I notice you only work with full lines. Generally, broken lines indicate marriage and full lines parentage.
 * What exactly is Ansel's relationship to the unnamed mother? If they have none, you need to remove the lines behind EBF
 * Generally, children of the same parents should be listed with a fork (like you have on the lower section). Dahlia and Esther are currently formatted as if married - especially because Mikael is formatted the same way.

If you don't mind, I'd like to have a crack on it. I'm a bit tired though, so it may go horribly wrong. I just need a challenge.
