Rosemary, I have used many computer programs to draw a family tree and have now settled on RootsMagic, mainly because it is very User Friendly. I teach a course on this program to my PAF5 User Group, that I run. The latest one I did was a descendant chart that included all the known siblings. It is 17ft long and consists of one major family of 12 generations, in which I have added all the Maternal lines as well. It can be printed on your normal printer, using 8 1/2 x 11, or 8 1/2 x 14 in, paper or on the British sizes. What you do is print out the many necessary pages and then paste them together using Scotch tape. You can also save the file in different formats so you can have a local commercial printer run it off on one long sheet of paper. You can download RootsMagic for a trial run but it does not include all the features, as you will need to purchase it, 1st. On the Internet input: http://rootsmagic.com/ and look for the link to Free Trial on the left. If you want, I can send you a copy of the Instructions I created to solve my Memory loss problem.

Does anyone know if there is a programme that can do this using information from PAF?
