DescriptionGenealogical chart is in the form of an oak tree. Blank banners are provided for the names. Each banner is numbered to indicate the generation, up to the seventh generation. The trunk of the tree rises from a grassy base and splits to form two main branches. The banners themselves serve as the smaller branches. The tree is densely covered with oak leaves.
