Hi. Is it possible to print out the whole family tree?

Hi. Is it possible to print out the whole family tree?

Also, I had my DNA done through ancestry.com, so does that automatically link to this tree? My tree has been traced back to 4000bc to Adam and Eve so a great if I can print it.

Thanks.

Short Answer: 'No', on both counts.

.

"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" has over a Billion individuals/persons on record; but, of course, not all connected/linked.

.

We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

We ONLY have "Branches", that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is NOT like "Ancestry_com" or the like.

.

We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" like other "Web" Sites; and/or, 'standalone' personal programmes.

.

We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

There is no real provision to "Download" our Ancestral lines from "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

There is provision to "Print", individual "Family Group" Sheets; and, SMALL x4 Generation "Pedigree" Charts, from "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", but, that is all - very time consuming.

.

The best thing for you to do, about getting hold of your Ancestral lines in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", is to use one or other of the "Third Party" Programmes (whether, 'On-Line'; or. 'Standalone') that are "Certified" by, to use with, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

Such "Third Party" Programmes (whether, 'On-Line'; or. 'Standalone') that ar "Certified" by, to use with, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of "FamilySearch":

https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/

.

There are FREE versions of some (even, many) of "Third Party" Programmes (whether, 'On-Line'; or. 'Standalone') that are "Certified" by, to use with, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch". But, there are also PAID, upgraded versions, of the same available.

.

Check them out. Try the FREE versions. See what suits you. You may even prefer to use more than just one.

.

Then, you have the ability to "Transfer" your Ancestral lines from, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", into one or more of the "Third Party" Programmes (whether, 'On-Line'; or. 'Standalone') that are "Certified" by, to use with, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

And, then, you can do what you wish, depending on which of the "Third Party" Programmes that you decide to use.

.

I have used a number of the "Third Party" Programmes (whether, 'On-Line'; or. 'Standalone') that are "Certified" by, to use with, "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" over the years; but, now, solely use "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" these days; so, I will not recommend any particular one.

.

Now ...

That said ...

.

DNA is another matter ...

.

Straight from a "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" ...

.

Please note that FamilySearch does not endorse or recommend any commercial DNA applications for genetic genealogy. Nor does our Family Tree provide specific features to post or link DNA groups based on DNA matches.

.

And, here is that "Knowledge Article":

I hope this helps.

ps: I also have/had an Ancestral line in the OLD "New.FamilySearch" (Now, "Family Tree") of FamilySearch" that went all the way back, like you, pretty cool, isn't it; but, also very spiritually uplifting, my only problem/issue is that other ('well meaning'; but, inexperienced) Users/Patrons have "Broken" the "Links" over time; and, it would be now be almost impossible to 'resurrect' (they even had 'Support' Missionaries trying to do so at one stage) - sad.

Note however, you can indeed pick any of your ancestors in Family Tree - and click on the link that says "View my relationship" and it will generate a chart that shows the names between you and that person - unfortunately that chart is not directly printable within FS.

Just going back 20 generations a family tree for a specific person (on all ancestral pedigree lines) could have well over one million people . . . how would you ever print that out? In what usable format?

Dennis J Yancey

Here is a sample line back to Adam

http://yanceyfamilygenealogy.org/ancestry_back_to_adam.htm

 

I share this mainly for "entertainment purposes"

real genealogical sources to truly backup this up beyond like the year 1,000 AD or so is

virtually nonexistant (other than just a handful of royal pedigrees - which could have been made to represent whatever the royalty wanted it to say.)

 

Once any person of English ancestry gets back to like the year 1200 or so they will usually link into a royal line and then share the same exact line from that point back - as millions of other users.

 

as my prior post alluded to - there are thousand/millions of different family lines that we all have - this is one tiny thread in a very thick ancestral rope of all of our ancestral lines.

If you save any picture in most any format, you cna take it to a printer, not Office Depot, and they can print a 2 ft by 3 ft or larger print of what you want. Or you can print smaller versions and piece them togethewre.
