How do you present your findings?
« on: Sunday 16 December 07 16:05 GMT (UK) »
Just wondering how other folk present their family trees and all the details in them.

I would like to show my grandmothers what I have found about their families, as they are both in their 80s.  But even to print off their family trees that Ancestry does would be about 40 sheets of paper which is totally impractical. If I do several sheets with links (ie person X on sheet A = person Y on sheet B)  then  it isn't as easy to follow through the generations.

Are there any easy standardised formats for writing stuff down and doing trees?

Cheers, and Merry Christmas all!

No prob, Cat.

I knew they were there and it took me a few minutes to find it  :)

There are some very interesting and useful discusions there.
