Print a family tree chart from a GEDCOM file
Drop the .ged, click the person the chart starts from and choose how many generations. Save it as a PDF for any paper size, or as SVG for a print shop.
Five charts
Ancestors: the person on the left, parents and grandparents spreading to the right, as many generations as the file holds. Descendants: the person at the top, every child and grandchild below, with spouses in the same box. Fan chart: ancestors as rings of a half circle. Hourglass: ancestors above and descendants below the same person. All relatives: ancestors together with their brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and descendants, one generation per row or column.
Any size
The PDF fits the chart to the paper you pick — A4 or Letter for a quick look, A3 to A0 for a print shop. To print a large tree at home, choose “A4 sheets to glue together”: the chart is printed at full size across numbered sheets that overlap by 8 mm.
