hi,

Can anyone recommend a nice family tree template (electronic version) that I can get hold of - preferably free - simple enough for older members of my family to understand. Have looked online but no real result.

Thanks, Mark

Not sure what you are asking But I have Family Tree Maker and have sent several family members Genealogy print outs from it that they understood and didnt find too difficult to follow

'Older' people aren't necessarily unable to understand complex documents...........and to suggest otherwise is not acceptable

Oh Reggie get of your high horse - don't start the political correctness in here. Mark explained the situation very delicately and as it was his own family he is taking about then he can say what he likes. We all know what he is talking about :-D :-D

There was no need for Mark to say anything other than he wanted a simple layout.............

Mark don't worry about the banter. Say what you like there is no need to apologise.

I'm always in trouble by the self styled Forum police and the don't do this or don't do that brigade - at my advanced age just don't take any notice of stuffed shirts anymore.

Must admit it was daunting at first but....

There is always somebody who will try and help you with any query.
