Can someone help explain this Rites chart to me?

When it comes to Eastern churches re-uniting with Rome, does this usually involve a bishop, as head of a group of Christians, re-entering communion with Rome? Or is the situation usually a group of lay people and priests?

It tends to be either the entire church (of which a piece may break off), such as in there Ukrainian (which took decades before it was all), Ruthenian, Melkite, etc., or a large group of faithful, possibly including priests and/or bishops (Russian Catholic, for example).

Also, not all eastern churches end up sui juris, as not all have bishops of their own.

As the member of SyroMalabar church I find this chart is wrong about Nasranis in India. Origin of all churches are Orshlem aka Jerusalem, but the intermediate state of Indian Christianity is not from Chaldea region of ancient Persia as shown in the Chart.

Persia Proper (Fars), Parthia, Arabia, Socrata, Major India (South India), Sri Lanka, Java and China were evangelized directly by St Thomas Apostle. He baptised aramaic speaking semitic people and established the churches there. In South India alone 7 churches were established by St Thomas. These parishes are now noble churches (ara pallikal or Resh Edthe) of ‘SyroMalabar’.

Historically in Chaldean church, selucia their center of apostolic throne and the church there was established by Mar Mari (St Maris in english, I suppose) who was disciple of Mar Addai (St Addeus of Edessa) who was a disciple of St Thomas.

Chaldean Church and Syro-Malabar Church are sister churches. We have our own heritage and Ecclesiastical traditions and history.

Feel free to use this infographic I made, regarding Eastern traditions (churches, not the rites per se):

It is a Hierarchy chart rather than a timeline for each. A different project would be to make timelines for each sui iuris Catholic church.

These Eastern rites are in communion with Rome. The orthodox churches are not. I’m not an expert, but I think there are rough parallels between Eastern Rite (Catholic) and orthodox churches. For example, Coptics are Catholics whereas Coptic Orthodox are not - they are orthodox and do not recognize the Bishop of Rome as head of the Church.

timelines for each sui iuris Catholic church.

Again, please note that not all of the two dozen or so Catholic churches are sui juris. For that matter, not all even have their own bishops.

Too much effort to draw a wheel. A chart, however:
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

After putting pen to paper, so to speak, I refined my definitions a bit, notably, splitting out the East and West Syriac. Arguably, East Syriac is distinct from West Syriac, and is not deemed Antiochene, but its own family.

I don’t want to add confusion to this, so I am not going to recommend any changes to this or any other chart or drawing, but it should be noted that the Roman rite of the Latin Church sui juris includes three forms: Ordinary Form, Extraordinary Form, and the Ordinariate Form (if anyone knows what the official term for it is, kindly correct me - this is the term I know as shorthand). I do not know whether or not any of the other rites of the various Catholic churches sui juris have forms.

Yes, they are all sui iuris, per CCEO. They are not all under the care of their own bishops.

Canon 27 A group of Christian faithful united by a hierarchy according to the norm of law which the supreme authority of the Church expressly or tacitly recognizes as sui iuris is called in this Code a Church sui iuris.

Those are Uses and are too detailed. They are Uses of the Roman Rite. The charts deal with only churches and rites.
