Three reports, one click

The pedigree chart is the format genealogists reach for first: the starting person on the left, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents fanning right across one landscape page — up to five generations. The descendant list runs the other way, numbering every descendant in d'Aboville style (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1…) with births, deaths, and marriages. The family book is the hand-to-relatives option: a title page, then every person in the file grouped by surname with their vitals, spouses, children, and notes.

Printing a GEDCOM file, without installing software

Searches for “gedcom printing software” usually end at decades-old Windows downloads. You don't need one: this page builds the PDF with JavaScript in your browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, tablets — anywhere. Pick A4 or US Letter, download, print.

Choosing a starting person

For the chart and the list you choose who to start from; the search box covers everyone in the file. A good default is picked automatically, but charts are most satisfying rooted at yourself (pedigree) or at the earliest ancestor you've confirmed (descendants). To explore the tree first, open the file in the interactive viewer — the last file you open there is offered here with one click.

About names and characters

The PDFs use the standard Helvetica fonts, which cover Western-European characters (å, ä, ö, é, ü, ø and friends). Characters outside that range are reduced to their base letter so generation never fails mid-file.
