Is there a chart of manufacturers and their sub brands?

Is there a master chart of the major manufacturers and their sub brands that may be perused online?

Are we talking Modern or Vintage, and which market (There's way too many to have a single place for all of them).

But if you mean modern, one of the big ones is going to be Yafa, they are the parent company of Monteverde, Conklin (modern reboot), 365, Marlen, Nava, Online Germany, Parafernalia, Penieder, Stipula, Diplomat, and Nettuno (and for personal reasons I avoid any child brand run by Yafa).

Or are you just looking for like a big list of all the notable brands to go after? In which case you can probably visit GouletPens, AndersonPens, CultPens, etc and check out their "Brand" listing to see most of the names.

Yafa is the North American distributor of those Italian and German brands, not the parent company.
Yafa owns Conklin, Monteverde, Esterbrook.

Vintage exclusively. I dislike modern pens with a passion, no character or soul in them.

No. There is not even a list of the various Petersburg, Va era fountain pen makers. But it's likely that they were all related even if only as kissin cuzins.

I have several speadsheets ( in Excel) of FP manufacturers, but cannot do a copy/paste of them.

Yafa does not own Esterbrook, that was independent until recently, when Kenro (the US distributor of Aurora & Montegrappa) purchased the company.

Just a suggestion, if you want, you can upload them into online spreadsheets like Google or Excel Online. Then you can create a read-only link that people can use to view it.

This is the sort of thing I am after, but for pens.

So create it.

It would be a lot of fun diving down that rabbit hole. The reality is, that is more task than I have time to dedicate.

I've seen a few notable websites have charts similar to that but rather brand or series specific, would be kind of cool having such a 'family tree' catalog as it were (or such resources such as ParkerPens, Richard Binder's site, etc etc could be used to construct such information just be very specific on giving credit where it's due).

I feel like that kind of thing people have spent years doing just on a certain market alone.

And that is why such a list does not exist.

Unfortunately my IT skills are very basic

Which is a pity, as I have lists of manufacturers by country.

There's fountainpen wiki you could visit - it's not a chart, but it's a starting point

You just upload the excel .xls files into Google Docs, it'll convert the documents for you, and allow you to set them to public or shared to specific people.
