I have now traced most of my family back to the 16th Century (with a couple of missing pieces), I want to start putting this down on paper in the form of a family tree. Does anyone know how to begin. It will be massive. Any tips?? I want to present it to my uncle as a gift.

If you have it on a family tree program and can therefore produce a gedcom, you couldn't do better than Ron and Carol at um....I forget the name of their business.......but their trees are FANTASTIC! Really really wonderful!!!! Someone else will post their website in a minute, I'm sure! Merry

If you have a Family History Programme on your computer it will do it for you. If you haven't got one Google Family Search and download the latest version of PAF (Personal Ancestry File) for free. I have been using it for years and it holds all kinds of info.

Both of them post on this site from time to time and they are lovely people too!! I saw a 50 foot long tree they printed and it was spectacular..... (They are NOT my relations or anything!) Merry

Hi Colette Do you have it in gedcom form? I just gave my SIL her tree. I went to my local printer and they had me e-mail the gedcom to them then they printed it out for me and put it in a ring binder (book form) they even did a cover for me with a tree on it and put a plastic protection cover over that. This cost me $30
