How to choose the right family tree template
Start by choosing the number of generations you actually need. A cleaner 4 or 5 generation layout is often more useful than filling in a template knowing there will be many generations without any existing information.
Next, decide whether you need a free printable version, a fully editable PDF, or a more decorative style like a vintage or special-format tree.
Use with research templates
Family tree templates pair especially well with research-oriented templates like ancestor charts and brick wall problem solving worksheets.

Frequently asked questions
What are family tree templates?
Family tree templates are layouts designed to organize relatives by generation and relationship so the final tree is easier to build, edit, and print.
What is the difference between free and editable family tree templates?
Free templates are usually ready to print as-is, while editable templates make it easier to type in names, correct details, and reuse the layout later.
How many generations should a family tree include?
That depends on your goal. Four or five generations work well for many people, while eight to ten generations are more suitable for deeper ancestry research.
What is the divided 9 generations family tree template for?
It is designed for users who need deep ancestry coverage but want a structure that is separated. When printed and framed it will look great when you can have the family tree in two separate frames next to each other.
