5 generation family tree template: count from the starting person

A 5 generation family tree template has five rows of ancestry: you, two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, and sixteen great-great-grandparents. That is 31 positions, not necessarily 31 different people; the same ancestor can appear in more than one branch.

Fill the 5 generation family tree template from the starting person outward. Leave an unknown name clearly marked. Add dates only when they remain readable, and compare the smallest label with the intended paper size before choosing a larger print.

Use the 5 generation family tree template preview above as a layout reference. Test one sheet at actual size rather than assuming every name will fit on A4 or Letter. Longer names and added dates may require more space.
