From the developer

the_arv's own description of WP Family Tree, lightly tidied.

WP Family Tree is a family tree generator plugin for WordPress. Each family member have their own post within
a “Family” category. In the family member posts you can specify birth dates, mother, father, etc. A complete family
tree can be displayed on any page with the [family-tree] shortcode.

The root of the tree can be specified with the root parameter: [family-tree root=’John Doe’]

Specify a ‘featured image’ for the post and the image thumbnail will be used in the family memebers list and in
the family tree. Please see the screenshots.
