Can you make it available to be able to print more than 7 generations.

Thank you

Amy Archibald

@S.L Bailey

FamilySearch offers up to 7 generations in the fan chart. Other companies like TreeSeek can print additional generations. Check out the FamilySearch Solutions Gallery for additional chart companies who partner with FamilySearch.

This is amazing! This is so detailed and must have been complicated to build such a program (from my view). I can't wait to use it. Thank you!

Can I import my data from Ancestry.com?

Amy Archibald

@MICHAELFARRELL74

Thank you for your question. If you have a LDS Membership account with Ancestry you can sync between your Ancestry tree and the FamilySearch Family Tree. If not, you can upload a GEDCOM from Ancestry to FamilySearch Genealogies and then compare it person by person to add it to the FamilySearch Family Tree.

How can I build a descendants fan chart, with my grandparents at the center and working out to their great-great-grandchildren?

Amy Archibald

@David Hensley

FamilySearch doesn't offer this option. However, check out Puzilla for something similar to your request.

Fan chart looks nice, but the instruction to adjust and print don't match what I see. There is no "generations bar", nor "options drop-down menu", nor is there a print button. Oh, well.

Thank you for letting us know the article is not current. Here is the current information from the Help Center:

How do I print fan charts and pedigree charts in Family Tree? 

N Randall

Is it possible to get a blank fan chart? I would like to manually fill in one for each of my living grandchildren and it doesn't seem possible on FamilySearch. Am I wrong? Is there a way? Thank you.

Cheryl Gebhart

@N Randall Thank you for your inquiry. Here are some FamilySearch-designed templates that are more "fun" versions of fan charts. FamilySearch Wiki also has printable forms.
