Are you looking for a beautiful family tree template for a craft or school project, to display in your home or share with family? A blank, printable family tree can be used for all of these purposes and more. The trick is finding one that’s styled just right for your needs – which is why we have created four unique (and free) family tree options that you can easily print out.
You’ll find images of all of the tree templates below. To use one in your project simply click on the tree itself (or the link under the image) to open a large PDF version which you can download or print. The trees are designed to be printed on standard 8.5 x 11 office paper at the correct resolution so please do not print the image on this page or your tree may come out blurry. Use the provided PDF.
All of our tree templates include spaces for four to five generations – children or parents at the bottom, then grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents at the very top or sides. If you are using one of these for a child’s school project you could easily write the child’s name at the top or bottom of the page if no space is included.

Need some family tree templates to start my family tree
Would like to have a free family tree templates to start my family tree
I sent two of these trees to my local Staples to print for me, but since they have your copyright on them, they wouldn’t print them for me unless I had some kind of permission. Can you give me permission to use for my personal use? Thank you so much! I love them and have an idea to use them as a gift to family members.
THANK-YOU for sharing these gorgeous trees. They will be happily viewed by some grandchildren who are interested in where they fit into the family tree.
Several years ago I downloaded my tree to a memory stick and took it to staples printers. I had them print out on mechanical engineering paper such as used for blueprints (it is on a roll). Not 18000 names but it did go back to colonial America. I did a sheet for my paternal and one for maternal sides.
Wow Thats a lot of names!
I have a tree with about 18,000 names, and some lines go back to about 1000 AD. I would like to put this information on A chart to give a full impact of lineage at a glance. Is it possible? Any suggestions? I have contacted a local publishing firm/printing house that could not do it, but they also did not understand the genealogy concept.
