How to fill it in

  1. 1

    Print it at actual size (100%), landscape, on plain or slightly thicker paper.

  2. 2

    Start with yourself on the left. Each person's father goes in the upper box to their right and their mother in the lower one. When a line runs past the fifth generation, begin a new chart with that ancestor in the “Me” box and note its number in the corner.

  3. 3

    Write each date in the order shown on its line. Leave blank what nobody knows yet, or write “c. 1890” for a year you can only guess.
