PDF family tree template

Generate a printable family tree covering 2 to 4 generations. Fill in the names you know: the remaining boxes are left blank so you can complete them by hand.

Example:

How it works

Choose how many generations to display, then list the known names for each generation, separated by commas and in order (for example: father's father, father's mother, mother's father, mother's mother). Boxes without a name stay empty with a line to fill in by hand, which makes it a truly printable template even if you don't have all the information.

In what order should I enter the names for a generation?

The order follows a classic pedigree chart: for each generation, the first two names are the parents of the first person in the previous generation, the next two are the parents of the second person, and so on.

Can I generate a completely blank tree to fill in by hand?

Yes, leave all the name fields empty: the tool generates the structure of boxes and relationship lines with a dotted line in each box, ready to be filled in with a pen after printing.
