About this worksheet
A classic black and white five generation pedigree chart with 31 numbered name lines: the starting person, 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents and 16 great-great-grandparents, joined by brackets. Generations one to four have lines for birth, place, marriage and death; the last column has a short dates line. The chart number line lets you link several charts together, the way genealogists do. It is a full genealogy form for grade 5 and up, teens and adults who copy names and dates from records.
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.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
