6-generation fan chart template
Six generations means 63 people, back to your third-great-grandparents. The outer ring is narrow, so print this one on 11 × 17 in (Tabloid) or A3 paper, or type the names online, where the text is sized for you.
What is on this template
- 63 places across 6 generations
- Soft green rings, one shade per generation
- Prints best on Tabloid or A3
- Also fits Letter and A4 for typed names
It has room for 63 people: you, your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and further back.
How to fill it in
- Print the PDF at 100% ("Actual size"), on plain paper for a draft or card stock for the final copy.
- Write your own name first, then your parents, then each earlier generation. On a fan chart, your father's side is on the left and your mother's side on the right.
- Add the years of birth and death under each name, like 1931–2005.
