I print to pdf for records I want to save. Your print function in useless. The record shows clearly on the screen but the print function scrambles the information making it worthless.

    I agree that the print function is not a good one. I want to print the tree itself, which is a pretty basic thing to do, but it appears to not be possible. All I can figure to do here is to take a screen shot, put that into a power point type slide, and then trim and crop.

    Also, it would be helpful to be able to print the tree with all the children shown, for all the families.

    There are some tree printing solutions/apps in the Solutions Gallery

    The FamilySearch Fan Chart tree view also prints nicely:

    As far as printing sources - yes this problem is known (in other Community posts) and being looked into. Perhaps contributing feedback to the New Person Pages group is the best place.

    The New Person Page> Tools> Print options:

    work well - but don't include printing of attached Sources currently (FGR with Sources will print citation but not the record/image).

    Yes I agree with GusRT. Your user print option is not functional. I hope Family Search revises the print options available to users in the very near future.
