About this worksheet
A blank Ahnentafel table for genealogists: 15 numbered rows from you (1) through your parents (2 and 3), grandparents (4 to 7) and great-grandparents (8 to 15), with the relationship already printed and columns for full name, birth and death. A two-line example at the bottom explains the doubling rule, so the numbers match any pedigree chart. Black and white, for adults and curious older kids. 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.
