My file is attached. A couple of cautions:

I found I had to create two subtrees at a time, and then compile
looking for errors. An empty subtree is OK so long as it is
terminated by the closing brace.

A tree/subtree  has two strings enclosed in curly braces.
 so a typical line looks like:
\pstree{\Tr*{Ch Keyhoe's Clare of Belvedere}}{%
....and the tree is terminated by
       } 
On a line by itself and lined up below its partner brace for
ease in debugging. 

I start each subtree with a one liner plus closing brace as above. To go
down another level I add two subtrees, one for sire and one for
dam, configured as above. Then I compile and view. 
The contents of these two subtrees can be added later. 

If you add just one at a time then you run into collision
problems. But when you flesh the tree out completely the
collisions go away. 

Don't forget the three curly braces and % at the end of each \pstree
statement. I had problems with this.
