About this worksheet
A four generation box chart for genealogy: one starting person, two parents, four grandparents and eight great-grandparents, each in a numbered box with lines for born, place, married and died. The boxes get smaller from left to right, so the people you know most about get the most room. Black and white, made for adults and older students who copy dates from birth, marriage and death records. 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.
