Im trying to create a simple family tree using HTML (I also could include CSS and Javascript if needed). I would like to achieve something like this:

http://www.gmrv.es/~sschvartzman/Sara_C._Schvartzman/example.png

Does anybody know how I can make this?

EDIT:

The structure from which Im constructing this webpage is of the type:

Father
Mother
n Number of children
children[n]

I want to construct this figure automatically. I want each person to have a link to another webpage, but I think this will be easy once I have the figure.

Thank you for your help!
