Modern Theosophical Movement: Simplified Diagram
Modern Theosophical Movement Including Offshoots: A Tree Diagram (Non-Exhaustive) 
I often use this diagram when trying to illustrate the fertility of the theosophical movement since its beginnings in 1875. As far as I know it was designed by Ronald Engelse in the 80-ies of the 20th century. (Click the image to view original scale.)
Theosophical History: Overview of Branches of the Society
On the web site of the Point Loma branch, Blavatskyhouse, The Hague, now abbreviated as TSPL, until recently we could find an alternative version of theosophical history, in particular in the yellow-coloured tree-diagram quoted below. The diagram shows the Theosophical Society Adyar "seceding" in 1895, and the Adyar branch is missing in the diagram. At this moment (2022) the Adyar branch is more than 10 times larger in members than the Point Loma branch, and like the Point Loma Branch, it has existed (and has flourished) since the foundation of the society in 1875.
In a creative mood, I have made an adjusted version of the diagram, in green, which is presented here:
The Ninth Convention of the American Section of the Theosophical Society 1895
In these proceedings we find how the American Section "seceded", or became independent of the Theosophical Society. It was then named the "Theosophical Society in America". The United Lodges of Theosophists (ULT, 1909) was formed by TS members from both the TS and the TS in America. Later, more organisations came forth from the Theosophical Society in America, among which there are the Point Loma branch (TSPL), the Theosophical Society Pasadena and others. The Theosophical Society is now often called "Theosophical Society (Adyar)" to distinguish it from other branches.
