How to fill it in

  1. Print the PDF at 100% ("Actual size"), on plain paper for a draft or card stock for the final copy.
  2. Write your own name first, then your parents, then each earlier generation. Fathers go on the upper line of each pair and mothers on the lower line; a father is always number 2n and a mother 2n + 1.
  3. Add the years of birth and death under each name, like 1931–2005.
