Draw Family Tree

Descendant family tree template (printable)

A descendant chart starts with one couple and follows the family down: their children, then their grandchildren. It is the chart to make for grandparents, anniversaries and family reunions, where everyone wants to find their own place.

What is on this template

  • 2 boxes for the couple, joined by a marriage line
  • 4 boxes for the children and 8 for the grandchildren
  • Classic style with a double border
  • Landscape page, Letter or A4

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 the couple at the top, then their children from oldest to youngest, left to right, and each child's own children underneath.
  3. Add the years of birth and death under each name, like 1931–2005.

Want to draw your direct ancestors instead? The family tree maker prints a family tree, fan chart or pedigree chart from the names you type.
