How can I print a Family Tree? 

Even if you have compiled a complete set of information about your family tree, you must be curious to have it in a hard copy! But how would you do it?

 

Firstly, you must understand the format. Family trees can be printed in ‘pedigree view’ or ‘family view.’

The pedigree view is simply the horizontal summation of all your ancestors, with the youngest one positioned on the right and their ancestors on the right. This format expands left to right.

 

The family view is a vertical representation of your family lineage as opposed to the pedigree view. The youngest ones are placed at the bottom of the tree while their ancestors sit at the top.

 

You must be wondering, ‘What are the pros and cons of each format?’

The answer to this is that the Family view is easy to understand; however, it requires more paper in printing and is harder to piece together. The pedigree view can be a bit confusing but does not have the disadvantages of the Family view.

 

Steps of Printing: 

Once you have understood the format, you are all set to print your family tree!

To begin printing, follow the steps below:

  • Click the trees tab and select a tree
  • Choose between a ‘pedigree’ or ‘family’ view on the left side of the screen
  • Select the page area you want to print and click ‘Print.’ It must be noted that it is not possible to print the entire tree at once, and you must scroll down to print the entire tree step by step. You can move to specific trees by clicking ‘Tree Search.’
  • Click ‘Print’ in the top right corner of the tree.
  • Click ‘Print’ again in the top left corner of the page
  • Click OK
