Families

Families extend through time.

Parents connect us to earlier generations. Children connect us to later ones.

Clozeu represents these relationships through ancestry and descent.

A parent relationship can connect a person upward toward grandparents and earlier generations. A child relationship can connect downward toward grandchildren and later generations.

As these relationships continue, the wider family structure can grow naturally.

This means the family does not need to be rebuilt separately from every person's point of view.

A grandparent is connected through a parent. A grandchild is connected through a child. Further generations continue from there.

The result is more than a list of relatives. It is a connected family structure that shows how people relate across generations.

This also helps preserve continuity as families grow and change.

People may live in different places, form new family units, or become part of new generations, while still remaining connected through the same underlying family relationships.
