4th generation pedigree

JeraldBMiller

I would like to see a 4 generation or even 5 generation pedigree chart. If I open up my great grandparents for either of my grandparents I can only see their parents and grandparents and not that of their spouse no matter how far out I zoom or how far left I scroll.

I can print a 4 generation pedigree chart for all of my family including my great grandparents but I can't see it on the screen with pictures. I am looking for a dramatic way to show 4 generations for a presentation without including lots of detail, just names and faces.

We understand you desires, @JeraldBMiller, but the the nature of a fixed-expansion pedigree chart is against us implementing the ability of expanding multiple ancestral lines simultaneously, as we use the space that is directly above other nodes to allow two generations' worth of nodes to display side-by-side. (Don't tell anyone, but we are currently working on a pedigree view that allows any expansion at any point, but it won't be released for a while) For now, if you want to print multiple ancestral lines at once, then you can use the fan chart view, which allows for up to 6 generations' worth of ancestors from a single point. If you need more, or would like different formatting, FamilySearch has a number of partners capable of importing your pedigree information and then formatting it for printing in various forms. A resource I have used historically is: https://treeseek.com/. It imports your tree data, and then has a number of formats to choose from for printing. The upper options with their individual "Create Chart" buttons mostly are paid versions, but the lower selection with the single "Create Chart" button provides a number of free downloadable charts in various formats.
