Hello to everyone, I would like to import a plain family tree (boxes) onto a plain blank page of a book I am putting together. Has anyone else tried this and can you share what software if any you used? Thanks, David

David Are you looking primarily for a blank organizational chart that others can fill in with their information? Visio is good for creating org charts. It's a Microsoft program that comes MS office, but may be free to download as well. It's pretty intuitive and would give you the blank boxes in a hierarchical structure. You should be able to save the result as a picture file and import it as a graphic into whatever you are using for your book.

Rather than a book (expensive in the long run along with updates), how about burning information to a DVD (includes photo's if you want to include them). Import/Export of previously used software does not appear to be an issue. Unfortunately, it involves an expensive software program called 'Wholey Genes.' But, advantage is the ease of use once everything is installed and information applied. It also has part of the program that deals with burning DVD's, labels for DVD's etc. To learn more, Google and go through their information sheets. There may be other programs that would have the same end result of family trees on DVD's. So... Books or DVD's, that is the question! I vote DVDs' because of the cost and ease of issuing updates.
