Autofill Your Printable Family Tree Online
To make quick and easy family tree examples to show to your family or classroom students, use FamilySearch's online family tree template activity through our Keepsakes page. This activity requires you to have started your own online family tree through your FamilySearch account, (create one here for free!). Once you've done so, click the button below, and FamilySearch will automatically generate a family tree example using the information from your online tree that you can print out.
We also have Keepsake pages with template designs that reflect the cultures of Africa, Asia, some Pacific Islands, Australia, and China.
Use the Free Online Shared Family Tree
The online FamilySearch Family Tree provides an easy way for you to record your genealogy right from your browser or mobile app. And since the tree is a shared public tree, you might not have to do as much research to trace your ancestors. Once you put in enough information about your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, your tree can start to populate with ancestors already in the shared tree. You won't have to replicate research that has already been completed by others before you.
After filling out some basic information about your family (we recommend starting with the first 4 generations), you can view your family tree in several ways. You can even print a 7-generation fan chart!
At FamilySearch, we care about connecting you with your family, and we provide fun discovery experiences and family history services for free. Why? Because we cherish families and believe that connecting generations can improve our lives now and forever. We are a nonprofit organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. To learn more about our beliefs, click here.
