A Lesson on How to Make Your Free Family Tree Template

A family tree template helps you to organize your family members in ascending order, starting from the oldest family member and to the youngest till date. The family tree template resembles a tree.

The branches of the tree indicate the children. The purpose of a family tree is to establish the link between generations. Several computer software help to build a family tree. A free family tree template can be created just with the help of paper, pencil, ruler, marker and a poster board.

•The 1st step includes some research work to be done. Find out the names of your ancestors, their date of birth, their date of marriage and the day on which they died (if necessary). It is a basic rule to include the mentioned things: your details, the details of your parents, your 4 grandparents, and 8 great grandparents. If you wish to, you can stretch back the past further.

•Organize the index cards and set them in order. Place your card on top. Then place your dad's card below that. Then keep your mom's index card. The next in order, your grandfather's card comes. Then your grand mom's card comes next. Repeat this pattern for every individual you know.

•Place the poster on a horizontal area. The longer side of the paper is to be used as the width. Take your pencil and a ruler along with that. Make a box at towards the bottom of the board (the rectangular box should be centre aligned). Fill up this box by writing your name in it.

•Make another box a little above your name. This should be left aligned. Write your dad's name inside it. Another box should be made at the same level and towards the right. This box is meant for your mother.

•Draw a line from the centre of the perimeter of your box. Diverge the line in 2 directions - towards the right and towards the left. Connect this line to your father's box and to your mother's box respectively. This line should connect the upper part of your parent's boxes and should touch them at the centre.

•Following the above mentioned pattern, make 2 more boxes above your father's box. These boxes are meant for your grandparents (from your father's side). Connect them with s line in a similar way.

•Repeat this process and connect your mother to her parents.

•Repeat this pattern for every one you know.

•Once you have made this basic outline, trace this template with a marker. Fill in the boxes with the details you have gathered.

Your family tree diagram is made.
