I love the idea of the new printable family trees. Can I recommend a style that has the ancestors as the roots with the kids and their spouses as branches and grandkids as smaller branches/leaves? I could see this as a great gift for my parents!

    Evan ( and 'FamilySearch' )

    .

    Are you referring to this "Campaign" by 'FamilySearch'?

    .

    Create Your Family Tree Keepsake

    View and share your family tree in a fun way with a printable family keepsake you’ll cherish.

    https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/keepsakes

    .

    IF, so; THEN, great suggestions; and, as a further suggestion, it would be good if it INCLUDED, the Spouse of ones Children; and, their Children, the Grandchildren - just a few MORE "Leaves"..

    .

    Currently the Spouse of ones Children; and, their Children, the Grandchildren are NOT included.

    .

    This was raised (Today) in a (General) 'Question' in the "Community.FamilySearch' Forum.

    ,

    Just another thought.

    quite a few of my ancestors used one of their middle names as their everyday first name, & a few had nicknames.

    i would not use the current format of this printable tree, whereby the first name that's listed on the birth certificate is automatically shown on the tree, 'coz i can't relate to that person's name.

    i would like to be able to choose -

    1) the first name my ancestors decided use, or

    2) any nicknames they used

    I love the idea of the printable family tree. I wanted to make them and give them to and for family and possibly friends.

    1. The print seemed rather faint. A greater color contrast for higher visibility would be great.
    2. It would be helpful to be able to choose with which person you start. I tried changing my "default" person on the settings to a different person to see if that worked (due to a suggestion by another Family Search user) but it did not change.

    Great idea, though. It would have made a fun gift for people.
