The ARDA Association for Religious Data Archives website provides an excellent opportunity to see the different branches of Christianity that has resulted in the many Christian denominations in a graph form of a "family tree."
Check out the category on the home page titled "Family Tree for World Religions" under the heading "Christian" for a "Christian" family tree. Select from the top category Family Tree for Christian Denominations to see any one of the various different Christian denominations.
Presbyterianism has its roots in the reformation in Europe. In the United States, Rev Francis Makemie an Irish immigrant helped to organize the first American Presbytery in Philadelphia in 1706. English Presbyterians are recorded in colonial America as early as 1531. As Presbyterianism grew, many theological controversies caused splinter groups. The below link to the Presbyterian family tree shows the various groups that have branched off to form new denominations. Its worth a look.
