Printing Family Tree

WilliamHardy52

I have a family tree that goes back 20 generations on one side of my family and 10 on the other. Trying to print with the options supplied on the system isn't working. Is there a way to print out my tree where it's useful and readable?

FamilySearch Family Tree currently only supports printing a pedigree of 4 generations at a time. Please refer to https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-can-i-print-fan-charts-and-pedigree-charts-in-family-tree

However, our partners do offer other printing solutions. Scroll down to the footer of a FamilySearch.org page and click on Solutions Gallery. There are several links there to help you solve your problem.

Hi you may also find it helpful to change the starting person for printing further generations. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the "community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Further to what has already been proffered ...

As it is, "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', is not; and, never was, even 'Designed' with, proper/significant "Printing" capabilities, which are very limited.

"Printing" is limited to the printing of:

▬ a "Family Group Sheet" for an individual/person; and,

▬ a x4 Generation, "Pedigree" Chart for an individual/person.

That is basically it.

We CANNOT neither, "Print"; and/or, "Download", our "Ancestral" Lines, directly from "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch".

But ...

That Said ...

Do not disappear ...

As, has already been proffered, there is an alternative ...

The best option for such in your "Ancestral" lines in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', is to use one of the "Third Party" Applications [ being of either, the "Family Tree Management" programmes; or, Charting (Printing) programmes ] that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

The "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'.

Here is a direct link to the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':

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

And, here is the direct link to the "Family Tree Management" programmes, themselves:

https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=family_tree_management

And, here is the direct link to the "Charting (Printing)" programmes, themselves:

https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=charts

"Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' include, BOTH, 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes ("Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).

Some of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' have, BOTH, a Basic FREE version; and/or, a Premium PIAD (ie. "Subscription") version, the latter just having more 'Bells and Whistles'. The Basic FREE version is sufficient for most, the average, User/Patron. Whereas, the Premium PAID (ie. "Subscription") version is the choice of most experienced and 'power' Users/Patrons.

You can use ONE or MORE than one, of the the "Third Party" Applications, the choice is yours.

Most of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that are "Family Tree Management programmes, have INTERFACES that work/connect (directly) with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that can, "Download"; and, "Upload" (ie. "Transfer) between the "Third Party" Application and "Family Tree".

I know that this might not help; but, I hope that this gives you some perspective; and, another avenue to explore.

No place do you have a "Search" hourglass where someone can type a topic or question.

I HIGHLY recommend you upgrade FamilySearch to include one.
