Family Tree

Post by crayspond » Thu Dec 18, 2008 11:52 am

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a simple Family Tree chart - not a book but a A3 sheet of paper or hard card to fill in by hand?

I noticed in the Times a few weeks ago someone had printed the family tree of Barak Obama and it was quite easy to read considering it was on a size of about A3 dimensions.

Thanks,

Ailsa

Hi Ailsa
A search on Google should bring up a few companies who produce charts, such as:
http://www.family-tree.co.uk/acatalog/W ... .html#a715
http://www.godridges.co.uk/family_tree_chart.html
Also, local family history societies may sell charts - worth checking.

Best wishes
Lesley

Thanks Lesley,

That's exactly the type of thing i was looking for. I will have a good look to see which one suits me.
I had tried googling before but kept coming up with computer based packs.
I wonder if Santa is listening .............. xmas:wink: xmas:wink:

Hi Ailsa

I've just taken delivery today of some A3 charts from www.my-history.co.uk

Really pleased with them, and very reasonably priced. Particularly like the 10 generation double sided one. £3.62 each + vat + postage.

Regards

For all sorts of weird and wonderful Family Trees go to Google Image Search http://images.google.com/ and search for Family tree
