Hello everybody in June I will be meeting family for the first time. They are coming over from America and I would like to present them with a nice tree printout going back 4 generations to our mutual ancestor. Any ideas on the best way to do this to make it look neat and tidy. Thank you Frances

Hi Frances I dont know which family tree programme you use but if you go on a web site called ACORNS 2 OAKS it gives you a list of ways to get your tree printed out by them, in a number of different formats, and on one large piece of paper. It is worth looking at. The other way is to just print out a descendant tree from your common ancestor but when you print it out you will have to stick the pages together, I should imagine it is a lot nicer done as one large page, I am going to get them to do mine when I have done a bit more on it, I have quite a few generations on now though so would cost quite a bit of money, need to save up!!!! All the best Marilyn

Just to say thank you for your suggestions, I would really like to do it on one page if possible, I do have Family Tree Maker but what I want to put in goes on about 25 pages. Thanks a lot Frances
