Usage

This template produces a simple family tree. It's an alternative to Tree chart. The original template is template:Discendenza.

Insert four data for each person:

• personal id (a number)
• father id (a number, -1 for progenitor)
• name (wikitext)
• additional info (wikitext)

Additional parameters:

• show: use h (horizontal) for a simple family tree; v (vertical) for an indented list. Default value: h.
• align: use right to show the family on the right (only if show = h). Default value: center.
• width: width of the family tree (only if align = right). Default value: 300.
• caption: show a caption under the family tree (only if align = right)

{{Lineage
