When making a family tree is the father on the left side or right side?

I am making a family up to four generations (me, parents, grandparent, great-grandparents). I was wondering if the father has to be on the left side or right side or it doesn't matter?When making a family tree is the father on the left side or right side?
Generally the Mother is on the right side and the Father is on the left side. If you Google ';Family tree templates'; you will be able to print out blank family trees that you can fill in with the pertinent information.When making a family tree is the father on the left side or right side?
When using a diagram of the actual tree. It is common for paternal to be on the left and maternal to be on the right. When numbering the people on your tree. You should always be #1, your father will be #2, and your mother will be #3. When numbering grandparents Your grandfather on your father's side would be #4 (or double that of your father) Your grandmother on your father's side would be #5 (or double the # of your father plus 1). Your grandfather on your mother's side #would be 6 (or double that of your mother) and your grandmother on your mother's side would be # 7(or double your mother plus one). Hint males should always be even numbered and females will always be odd numbers. I found this system to be extremely helpful when trying to remember family members with the same namesake. Hope this will help you and good luck.

if you google ';family tree'; then click on images, you can find many different graphics versions, many of them pretty elaborate.


I like the style that you can find on this link, which does not go ';left/ right';, but is more standard with the basic format used by most genealogy programs. On this, the father is always to the TOP.

here is another one... that puts father's side to the left and mom to the right. Family crests/ coats of arms don't belong to ';families';, but it might be nice to put a photo of you in the middle of this type chart.
I think generally he is. I don't think it really matters all that much, but I would be consistent throughout the tree. If you put your father on the right, put all of the men on to the right of their wives. If you put him on the left, put all of them to the left of their wives.
The mother is always on the right side, the father is always on the wrong side.
Yes, when you start, the father's side would be first.
Father is on left side
