See Your Family like Never Before!




  1. Choose the "Fan Chart" view on the black bar (left side).
  2. On the right side of the screen hit Print.
  3. You should end up with something like what is pictured above. 


Today's strategy is meant to help you 'get to know' your ancestors already on FamilySearch. The chart pictured above is what you can print from FamilySearch - a 9 Generation Fan chart is available at www.treeseek.com

Using your fan chart you can track events using symbols, here's a few examples-

  • Ancestors that have all their temple work done (use a check mark)
  • Which Ancestor immigrated from a foreign country (draw a ship anchor)
  • Which Ancestor first joined the church (draw a star)

These are only examples of what you can track- come up with your own symbols too!

This is a great place to start if you still are not sure how to begin doing Family History work.
