My (laptop) desktop looks like this… Maybe once I finish up trailing the descendants of the oldest son of Peter Zittel and Rosina Hauck (far left of chart), I will get something posted.

There are over 50 couples in the first five generations and more than 50 children (most with spouses and even more children) so far in the sixth and seventh generations.

Descendants of Johannes Zittel and Elisabeth Stempfel
