A free printable family tree chart

The free printable family tree chart illustrated below records four generations of direct ancestors, including your parents, in a horizontal family tree format with the relationship of each person recorded.

As you can see, it features shamrocks making it ideal for those who want to show off their Irish heritage.

Neatly completed and framed, it looks great hanging on a wall, and is a certain conversational piece.

You have a choice of download, depending partly on what software you have on your computer and partly on how you want to complete the chart.

Here are your options:

Option 1: You want to print off the chart and fill in your ancestors' details by hand.

This download will be successful with any version of Acrobat Reader.

Option 2: You want to fill in the form on screen and print off the completed tree.

To do this, you'll need Acrobat Reader version 8 or higher. You will not be able to save the completed chart to your computer so you need to be ready to fill in the chart at one attempt. Simply type over the fictitious names with your own genealogy details and hit Print.
