Advice on printing out a family tree
« on: Thursday 09 May 24 17:10 BST (UK) »
This may seem like a silly question - but -
I have a family tree on Ancestry.com which now has around 1,800 names. Several family members have asked if I can do a print-out of this material.
Well, it seems possible via Ancestry to print a tree one page at a time, but this would result in a completely unusable pile of sheets that could never satisfactorily be united.
I recall seeing in the past a service that prints out the tree in "book form" using a ged.com file as source material.
I wondered if anyone knew of the company that does this (or any other similar service), if anyone has previously done this and if so how successful was the outcome?
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks, Regards, Paul.

https://www.mycanvas.com/  is a "partner" of Ancestry.

That said, I have never used their services, so I cannot say how good it is, nor how expensive it is.

Ask at a local printshop.
They should be able to explain what format(s) they prefer, and give you a guide as to prices.
