Family tree templates for Word and Excel
Pick a chart and press “Word” or “Excel”. The file opens in Word, Google Docs and Pages, or in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers, ready to type into.
Word and Google Docs
The charts are tables: every person is a box with labelled lines — name, born, place, died — so typing stays in the right place and the layout does not fall apart when the file is opened in Google Docs or Pages. Ancestors charts for 3, 4 and 5 generations fit one landscape page; the chart with aunts, uncles and cousins starts from the grandparents; the family group sheet records one family with up to eight children.
Excel and Google Sheets
The ancestors charts come as a sheet with a framed block for each person, 3 to 6 generations. There is also a list of people — one row per person, with columns for dates, places, parents and spouses. Fill it in, drop it on this page, and it becomes a family tree you can print as a chart or a book, or save as GEDCOM for Ancestry, MyHeritage and FamilySearch.
Questions
- Can I upload the template to Google Drive?
- Yes — open the Word file with Google Docs or the Excel file with Google Sheets; both keep the tables and frames.
- Can I make it in Canva?
- Canva cannot open these formats, but it imports the PDF, PNG or SVG versions of the same charts as images.
