What’s Inside

The Ultimate Family Tree Chart Templates Download contains 25 distinct designs of ancestry charts. Each chart design features:

• space for four generations of ancestors' names
• labels for each generation to make filling out easy
• space for the root person's name or surname ("Mary Smith Family Tree" or "SMITH Family Tree”)
• optionally, you might choose to type life dates or other brief information along with the names
• handsome graphical design suitable for framing
• three sizes to fit standard photo frames: 8x10 inches, 11x14 inches and 16x20 inches

Uses and Ideas for Family Tree Templates

These decorative trees won't replace your working genealogy charts that cram in many generations of names and dates. Instead, they're perfect for:

• a tasteful display for any room of your home
• a wedding gift for a bride or groom in your family
• a new baby gift for a friend or relative
• sharing family history with relatives in a format they'll appreciate (and won't overwhelm them)
• a keepsake for your own children or grandchildren

Hints for using the digital family tree templates

• Type and save information directly in the chart PDF.
• Print as many copies as you like, in whichever size(s) suit your needs best. You can print yourself, take the file to a local copy shop to print on your paper of choice, or even upload to an online service to print on photo paper or canvas. Create an 8x10 chart for your desk, an 11x14 version for gifts, and a 16x20 tree for your next family reunion!

Hints for hand-lettering your chart

• Use a pencil to lightly write names into the boxes, erasing and redoing until you're satisfied with how each one looks.
• Then go over the pencil with a permanent ink pen in the color of your choice. We like felt-tip archival-safe ink pens, such as the Identi-Pen.
