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.
Family tree templates pair especially well with research-oriented templates like ancestor charts and brick wall problem solving worksheets.

Family tree templates are layouts designed to organize relatives by generation and relationship so the final tree is easier to build, edit, and print.
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.
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.
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.
