Use the fan chart in Family Tree • FamilySearch

The Fan Chart view has several advantages:

You can see up to 7 generations of your ancestors all at once.
You can identify where family lines end—in other words, where information is missing.
You can see in what countries different ancestors were born, and which ancestors have photos, stories, and sources attached to the person pages.
You can both view the fan chart on screen and convert it to a PDF file for printing.
