Large Family Tree Chart Printing Service
Even If Your Data Is Not On Computer
So that you can see how your chart will look before you decide to buy we will load a screenshot of it - or part(s) of it if it is a really large chart - or even the whole lot in several parts - to a special web page where you can view it before making up your mind.
We produce large, high quality, charts using a colour inkjet printer which will handle cut sheets of A3 and A2 size plus banner paper - and is capable of multiple fonts, colour and photographs.
All the charts can be produced in portrait or landscape orientation.
Cut sheet charts are printed/plotted on high quality opaque paper.
Charts up to A3 size can be laminated for a small charge
The banner paper is 42 cm (16.54") wide (A3 long side) 90 gsm continuous roll (no sprocket holes). Maximum print depth (landscape format) or width (portrait format) is about 41.4 cm (16.25") but the length of the chart is only restricted by the 50 metre length of the paper roll.
Having trouble finding a printer who can produce a really long chart?
We have previously produced charts of over 62 feet (about 19 metres) in length.
In order to try to serve as many customer preferences as possible we offer two main alternatives for chart printing:
- Towards the end of 1996 we discovered the wonderful TreeDraw program for creating high quality genealogical drop-line charts. This is still our program of first choice because of the way in which it can be used to pack a lot of information into a small space. One of the great things about TreeDraw is that the user can move the chart contents around to reduce the overall size - sometimes dramatically. We have all three versions of TreeDraw. Here we have two screenshot examples of TreeDraw charts - first of all an extract from a descendant chart and secondly an ancestor chart with photographs (n.b. the photo quality is much better when printed than the screenshot produces). The charts will display in a new browser window to make it easy for you to return to this page.
- We can also print charts from Family Tree Maker. Here is a screenshot sample of an extract from the same descendant chart in FTM. Again, the chart will display in a new browser window to make it easy for you to return to this page.
In addition we have the following programs installed on various PCs:
- Family Historian v3,
- Roots Magic v3,
- Genbox v3,
- Brother's Keeper,
- Genopro,
- Generations Grande Suite 8,
- The Master Genealogist v4.0b,
- Family Tree Super Tools, v1.1.0,
- Personal Ancestral File v4, Personal Ancestral File v5.2 + PAF Companion v5.1.5,
- Ages v1.3,
- Legacy v5,
- Heredis v7.2,
- Comptons Family Tree v2.0,
- Family Origins v4.1a,
- Swift Ancestry Family Tree Designer,
- All four versions of GSP Family Tree,
- Ultimate Family Tree and
- Expert Personal Roots.
We are not restricted to charts produced using family history software. Amongst the files we can handle are PDFs and ones written by Quark Express, MS Word, MS Publisher, MS Works, Lotus Wordpro and Lotus Ami Pro.
For example, we have previously been sent charts formatted on A4 pages in MS Word and scaled them up to print on A3 paper.
Whichever option you choose for your chart, we will supply further copies of the chart (ordered at the same time as the initial copy and sent to the same address) for half the price of the first copy. Please contact us for a quote if you require multiple copies to be sent to different addresses.
In short, we can produce computer-printed charts for you in several different ways, even if you have neither TreeDraw or FTM - and even if your data is not on computer. Just click on the links below for full details.

Want Help in deciding which Software to use?
As noted above, we use a number of software products for chart production and all have their different features.
When you are choosing the software to meet your requirements you need to identify the one which is the "best fit" to your specific needs.
We recommend that you contact My History for the best advice.
Charts from TreeDraw.
Charts from Family Tree Maker, Family Historian, Roots Magic, Genbox etc.
How we can still help even if your data is not on computer.
We are realistic enough to know that we can't meet everyone's needs. We have, therefore, linked up with others who might be able to help where we can't - here are alternatives to our services.
