Is there a chart type that shows myself, a chosen ancestor, every intervening ancestor and their siblings? I use Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker 2012, and would like to produce a multi-page PDF chart, probably in Landscape orientation, that lists myself at bottom and a chosen direct ancestor at top, separated by a "row" for each intervening ancestor that also includes his/her siblings. Perhaps something like this ... !enter image description here Does such a chart exist and have a name? I would like to use such a chart to look for child naming patterns between the generations and share with other family members as "evidence" that an ancestor has been correctly identified when there is little else to use to establish that ancestry.

You can do this in Visual Chartform (The Master Genealogist). Use the List of People report to create a temporary dataset that includes only those individuals in the direct line (filter for 'is an ancestor of X and is a descendant of Y'). Then run the Ancestor Box Chart (with the option to include siblings) against that temporary data set. There is an example of a small left-to-right chart (could be bottom to top) here: Direct Line ancestor chart
