Fan Chart Books

Upload your GEDCOM file and get two printable PDF books of beautiful fan charts built from your tree.

What You Get

Two books from one upload

Your GEDCOM becomes two fan chart books. Each one has its own contents page, introduction, and alphabetical index.

Each book typically holds 20 to 25 fan charts, depending on the size of your tree.

Portrait fan chart book

A multi-page PDF on letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches).

Every ancestor with known parents in your file gets their own five-generation fan chart.

Color coding by branch shows the four grandparent lines at a glance.

Children are listed below the fan chart.

Landscape fan chart book

A multi-page PDF on A3 paper (16.5 x 11.7 inches).

Every ancestor with at least one known grandparent gets their own seven-generation fan chart.

Each chart spans 270 degrees.

Two Ways To Use Them

A keepsake and a research tool

The same book does two jobs. Some charts belong on the wall. Others point you toward your next discovery.

Print and frame

A full fan chart makes striking wall art. Print your favorites and frame them. They make a thoughtful family gift, too.

Spot the gaps

Every ancestor sits on a single page. The blank wedges reveal who's missing. You can see exactly where to research next.
