I do have genealogy program and ancestry but I just want to do a simple 10 generation family tree chart on A4 paper in writing! Obviously its squashed but that's what I needed. I just want names with age at death only. The names should be vertical, not horizontal. Is there a chart available where I can fill in names & ages in plain boxes, somewhere?

Thank in advance.

2^10 lines won't fit on a single sheet.

Hi     

I agree with Martin     (  )

Try Excel ? Draw it exactly how it is.     

You'll then get an idea of the task involved.

The program which will allow you to create the smallest possible chart is TreeDraw - but I agree with previous posters regarding not being able to fit it on an A4 sheet.
It might be possible in a very small font but would be very difficult to read.

This is a published 8 generation chart but it is still 42cm x 60cm so four times bigger than A4

Agree.

Also , if you used Excel, you could make sure the tree 'split' at a convenient place and then print on 2 A4 sheets if you wanted.

If you don't have access to an A3+ printer, you could always get it printed in a print shop.

If you did manage to get all the details you want onto an  A3 sheet you could them reduce it, using   a photocopier onto A4.

After 10 generations you would have 1,024 ancestors, just at that generation alone.  Plus 1,023 earlier ones.  I recently had to use 16 pages for just 200 ancestors to keep it legible.  Gluing 16 pages is tedious.  Using a small typeface to get just 100 lines from a spreadsheet onto one page of A4 is almost illegible.

If you are starting with yourself at top....by 10th generation there would by 512 entries on that line!

1>2>4>8>16>32>64>128>256>512

How do you expect them to be legible?
