You’ll find images of all of the tree templates below.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
