About this worksheet
A black and white four generation family tree that grows upward: you at the bottom, your parents, four grandparents and eight great-grandparents in the top row, each pair joined to their child. Parent and grandparent boxes have lines for birth date, place and marriage; the small great-grandparent boxes have room for a name and a birth year. Printer-friendly for school projects in grades 4 and up and for family reunions. It suits fourth graders and older kids who are asked to go back to their great-grandparents.
Tips for using it
- Fill in what you know in pencil first, then call a grandparent or older relative with your list of blanks. One phone call often fills a whole generation.
- Write women under their birth surname as well as their married name; it makes records much easier to find later.
- Use full dates in the form 12 Mar 1948 instead of 3/12/48, so nobody mixes up the day and the month.
- For a school project, ask the teacher whether pets, step-parents or guardians may be included. Most teachers say yes.
