    If we understand your question correctly, you would like to know how to print a "family tree" or a pedigree chart from FamilySearch.org.

    Keep in mind that our Family Tree at FamilySearch.org is one big, shared tree. So, you can start with a person. Click on his/her name and go to his/her Person Page. On the right side of the Person page down low you will see print options. There are also print options on the Landscape, Portrait and Fan chart pages on the upper right under "Options."

    Please see this article from the Help Center for more details...

    Best wishes!

    There are also various third party apps available that you could use to print various family trees.

    Take a look at the options in the following link.

    Kathy,

    You are limited as to what you can print from Family Tree. As 886EZL explained it's one big huge tree that everyone uses. If you look at the article attached by 886EZL it says you can print 7 generations of a fan chart, 5 generations of a portrait pedigree or 4 generations of a landscape pedigree. The article explains how you can decide which person in your tree you want to start those 7, 5, or 4 generations with.

    You said "when I go into a relatives records and pull up their family tree." Are you referring to a tree submitted to Genealogies by someone? Because the only way you could print those would be in segments by taking screenshots. There is no print option in Genealogies.

    Also, if that is the family trees you want to print, please keep in mind, those trees are not necessarily accurate. These articles explain why:

    https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Ancestral_File


    Hope this helps. If we are still not understanding what it is you want to print, please send a link.

    Thanks for quick response, but I am trying to figure out if I can print a tree that's already done by someone else for my family

    @KathyPassariello 

    Can you post a link to show us exactly what it is you are trying to print?
