Like Judi I use PAF....find it excellent and easy to use.
If you download the (free) PAF5 Companion you can do several kinds of trees.....
I paid a small fee, under £4, and can also print trees with people in coloured rectangles....if you know what I mean...I'm not tehnical either!......

Can really recommend this

Ron & Carol will do a very good job on your tree if you are ready to have it printed (& yes I've seen their work)

The PAF program from the familysearch site is very easy to use - and downloadable FREE! Once you download it, you can export your tree from genes into the program and print it out in several different formats.

Very useful program - I've used it for about 4 years.

Sam, Yes the G R one is the one I am trying to do.I take it that this one is not very good?

Where are you trying to print them from - this website or somewhere else?

If you are trying to print from this website then I wouldn't bother. You need to either get a family tree programme installed on your PC, send your tree to a specialist printers or sign up to Tribal Pages (the pay one, not the free one) and use their tree print programme.

Hello everyone, I have researched my trees for a long time, but have never attempted to print them .I am retired & not very tech.minded ! I tried today just to get one family name tree done but I messed it up. I also tried to follow the Q & A from the help section. Please don't label me thick ! Is this the best 'tree'programe? I would appreciate any advice . Thank you. PS I have looked at the mine fields of various programes & feel like giving up! Do all of my names get transfered onto another programe? I think I should stick to hand writing mine out but I have hundreds of names!!
