Blank Family Tree Template
This template if available for download directly from this site and comes with a detailed instructions guide.
This is a fairly standard six-generation family tree chart that is a great place to start for the first time genealogist or student. The chart has the following key qualities:
- It’s contains ample space to notate the three key dates including birth, marriage, and death
- Each key date is accompanied by a reference for location up through the 5th generation
- Each sixth generation notation contains space to enter a “continuation number” that can be carried over onto subsequent charts providing ample opportunity to document your ancestors back 12, 18, and even 24 generations
This blank family tree chart is a core tool in any genealogists tool belt. Please feel free to modify this design to your own needs. However, please note that you are given permission for unlimited personal use. This chart may not be sold or traded without written permission of the author.
To your success,

I really enjoyed using the family tree templates. I found it much easier to search my family history after I used it, because I could then write down all of information I found! I’d like to thank the people who created this website, so I can find out more about where I come from! Thanks!

Family tree download worked great! Am using it for a family history project my son is doing for a class. I like how many generations are on one page – most I found only have four or five generations. Thank you!

Hi Chris, On my mothers mothers paternal side I have managed to go back as far as 1586 during queen elizabeths reign in North Yorkshire England. I am trying to find some sort of template that I could maybe clip together like a jigsaw adding the various branches of my family making one big tree

Hi Pam – The 6-generation chart you downloaded would be perfect for this if you use the Chart # and Continuation # notations correctly.
I pulled out a couple paragraphs from the “How to Complete a Family Tree Chart” guide that talks about this. You can check it out at http://portma.net/bDFeao.
The full guide might also be helpful. You’ll also find a number of other chart formats there that might help you get the best design. Click “Make a Family Tree” above to read more about these other resources.
Hope this helps.
