About this worksheet
A black and white descendant chart that reads from the top down: one grandparent couple, up to four children with a dashed box for each child's partner, and four grandchild boxes under every child, 16 cousins in all. Each box has a name line and a birth date line. Use it for a reunion handout, a grandparents' gift or a genealogy file that tracks one couple's descendants. 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.
