Genealogy charts

Genealogy charts need the same formatting skills as tables. Often, it isn't possible to fit them within the recommended maximum width (about 75 characters), but the person who formatted this one found a way to do it with this two-page chart, as shown in this example and the next. (These examples were slightly modified to fit a readable copy onto the computer screen.)

Skipping pages

If you encounter a table, chart, or any page you just don't want to do, simply return it to the round. That's perfectly okay, and there will be someone else who really enjoys doing that kind of page.
