Pedigree is the symbolic representation of the history of an individual's family connections, presenting their ascendants and descendants in an organized manner. This is an important instrument in the genealogical process, as it is a way of gathering data about the ancestors of the members who participated in a person's family building so that the connections between these individuals are established.

The family pedigre shown in the above question would be:

Hanna's mother and Hanna's father have three daughters of Hope's order, Holly and Hanna. Hanna and Harry have a son named John. John is married to Jane. His children are Lee and Leah (diagnosed with galactosemia ). Janes's mother is Hilda and the brother is Joe. Joe is married to Jen and his son is Les.

Pedigrees are very useful to determine if there is anyone else in the family with that trait or who will carry that trait in the future.
