A printable, fill-in-the-blank pedigree chart. Pick your generations, personalize the title, and download it as a PDF, ready to hand-fill with your family's names.
A paper template is fixed the moment you print it. Build a living tree instead, with photos, stories, and room for every branch.
A pedigree (ancestor) chart starts with one person and branches upward through their parents, grandparents, and further-back ancestors on both the mother's and father's sides. It's the standard shape used for printable family tree templates.
3 generations (you, parents, grandparents) fits comfortably on one page and is easiest to fill in from memory. 4 or 5 generations reach further back to great-grandparents, but the outer boxes get smaller, so they work best when you already have most of those names on hand.
Yes. Set your own chart title, choose US Letter or A4 paper, and optionally add a siblings row for yourself, all before downloading.
It's completely free with no sign-up required. If you'd rather build a living, editable version instead of filling in a paper template, you can start a free tree on MyRooots any time.
