Free Hourglass Family Tree
The Hourglass Family Tree template is designed to simultaneously chart an individual's ancestry and their immediate descendants, creating a balanced, centered view of a family's history. This unique template is ideal for families and individuals who want to see their past and future in one coherent document, and for modern genealogists documenting blended or non-traditional family structures. Users initiate the process by placing the central couple (e.g., Alba Ramírez and Citra Tanjung) in the middle, connecting them upward to all four grandparent couples (e.g., Diego Ramírez and Anissa Rahman) to trace the lineage backward. The workflow concludes by connecting the central couple downward to their children (e.g., Mateo Tanjung-Ramírez), thus mapping the family's future. The resulting document is a cohesive, centered family record that effectively shows both the historical foundation and the modern expansion of the lineage.
