If you buy the latest Your Family Tree magazine there is a free poster sized family tree chart to fill in, plus the option to buy more at a special offer price. Maggy |

If you want to, you can use this site. Although the tree is unwieldy, it is capable of being exported into another software package at a later date. Sensitive data: like children's dates of birth can be entered under "additional information" so they aren't revealed to casual browsers. I have used spreadsheets from time to time, but it gets very complicated as you add additional information. Having tried every system under heaven, a specialist package, if you keep the data up to date! is the best way to retrieve your information. Good luck Brenda |

You could use some of the forms on the home page of this site if you can download them at work. Even though I've got a family tree programme I find it useful to do some things by hand. You could use the family relationship sheet for each generation of a family and maybe the fan chart for the direct ancestors. I have mine all in files with the certificates, wills, photos and other stuff for each family. Anne |

Hi Rachel have a look at the new downloadable forms here on GR. They look good for somebody in your position. Good luck Pauline |

I've been researching my tree for about a year, and have lots of certificates, census prinouts etc. I'd like a good way of presenting my tree, but I don't have a home PC or any specialist software. How can I use Word/Excel to type up my data and build a comprehensive tree? I have access to work/public computers so these are the only programs I can use. If anyone has any examples/recommendations, please let me know! Thanks Rachel |
