Problem: Understanding a person’s life story. Genelines helps by painting a complete personal life history showing all the events that occurred during a person’s life and when they happened. Historical events can also be included to give clues as to what may have helped shape that person’s life. The following biographical chart is essentially a graphical representation of the life story of Charles David Wilson.
