Here are two A4 family tree charts in PDF for you to download for your own use. (If these charts do not open for you, it may be that you need to download a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader software, available free from the Adobe website here.)
Click on the image above to open this PDF file (277K) in its own window. Print out to A4 paper - set Page Scaling to "Fit to Printer Margins" if you find the outer edges of the chart are not printing properly. When completing the chart, either place yourself in the centre and your parents in the next ring, or leave the centre blank and place yourself and your partner in the innermost ring.
Click on the image above to open this PDF file (286K) in its own window. The chart can be completed electronically and printed, but please note that if you are using the free version of Acrobat you will not be able to save what you have typed, so make sure you have all your information to hand before you begin. When completing the chart, start by changing "Smith" in the title to your own surname. Place the details about the source couple in the central blue and pink boxes, replacing the sample text already in the chart. The source couple's respective ancestors' details go to the left and right, and information about their children (and perhaps children-in-law and grandchildren) in the green box. The source couple could be yourself and your partner, or it could be your parents. Print your completed chart to A4 paper - set Page Scaling to "Fit to Printer Margins" if you find the outer edges of the chart are not printing properly.
A more detailed interactive chart has been developed for clients' use. This advanced chart includes the ability to transmit family data directly to Angela over the internet when commissioning research. Please ask for details.
