My problem is that a fan chart for our family would look very lop-sided! We have my mother's side back as far as 12 generations, but my father's only five. So, for now, I'm sticking to the family group sheet method, and only have one pedigree chart (that goes back six generations - doesn't look quite so bottom heavy!).
I've mentally spent about the next four paychecks on that
