Family tree hierarchy with Pure CSS using divs

Question

I'm trying to build a family tree, I have a problem with connecting lines, I managed to do first row, with oblique lines, however when I apply the same to the second row the oblique lines disappears. Any ideas how to fix it?

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

body {
  background: url(../img/bg.jpeg);
}

img {
  border-radius: 100%;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  box-shadow: 4px 4px 13px #222;
  border: solid 3px #606f46;
}

span {
  background: #beebb3;
  border-color: #606f46;
  border-radius: 30px 0 30px 0;

First, try using more semantic tags, in the example

,

were used instead of
and . It doesn't make the HTML invalid if you only use
and but it'll hold less meaning and there's a greater chance of errors being overlooked.

`display: table/table-row/table-cell` was assigned to
`/`
`/`
respectively. Using for layout is highly discouraged, but using other tags that behave like a is ok. In the example, the table-like layout is 3 rows (one row for each generation) and 5 columns. The only borders that are visible are actually the lines that connect "leaves" to each other (as spouses or siblings). For demonstration purposes I added a little JavaScript -- just click anywhere to toggle the invisible borders off and on.
