Help with family trees.

I need to design a graphic family tree for the InCryptid books, since family is such a central (and unavoidable) concept. Does anybody have any recommendations for ways to do this, or want to help me by putting a tree together? I won't promise to be your best friend, but I will look endearing and mention you in the acknowledgments...

Any preference for what it looks like? Plain/ornate text, BW or color, boxes or enclosures in the shape of viruses, ornate tree illustration or names falling out of a zombie's head...etc. Some random examples (alas, lacking viruses and zombies): plain boxy, slightly fancier boxy, something with a bit more color, a little fancier than that, the fancy pants family tree, etc. Let me know, and I can put it together for you this week.

Is there a way to do the "something with a bit more color" version in plain black and white? That's the format I always think of (lines, descending), and it prints well.

Most definitely! Give me a few days, and I'll have a draft together for you.
