1 Choose your family file

A GEDCOM (.ged) file exported from your family tree software.

No file handy? (a fictional family).

2 Pick the prime person

The chart shows this person, their siblings, and their ancestors back six generations.

    Printed across the top. It fills in when you pick a person, and you can change it.

    Untick to print place names in full. Long names may be shortened to fit the boxes.

    3 Add photos (optional)

    Most people add these after seeing the first chart. Anyone without a photo gets a vintage picture, and you can add photos at any time and make the chart again.
