Hello List,   In the last couple of weeks there was a lady asking about Microsoft Pfd. My question may be on the same order but I never seen her question answered and I know it was by some of the replys, by her, I did try to send her a email but it would bounce right back to me. So my question is: How do I go about  printing my family tree  I would like it to print as you would see it in a letter form. Hope someone can help me out, I do not have have Family Tree Maker Thanks in Advance Gayle

Hi Gayle Do you mean you have no family tree software? or just not Family Tree Maker? Most if not all family tree software applications can print off in various ways If you don't have any software I would recomend Personal Ancestral File from the LDS, its free and easy to use It has some basic printing options which would probably suffice but you can add PAF Companion for next to nothing Once you enter your family data into PAF you can then print off in various ways to suit your requirements See https://www.familysearch.org/ Scroll down and select Products bottom right of page Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 30/07/2012 04:04, gayle lee stevens wrote: > Hello List, > In the last couple of weeks there was a lady asking about Microsoft Pfd.

Hi Gayle I am having to send via the list as your email address is bouncing my replies with fatal errors My reply copies below ======================== Hi Gayle I have a couple of small trees on Ancestry but only testers so have never needed to either download or print a tree off As I said I use PAF, very easy to use My suggestion would be to download a gedcom from Ancestry, then download and install a free copy of PAF (if unsure how to download a gedcom from Ancestry, select help in Ancestry and enter gedcom in the search box) Create a new file in PAF and import the gedcom into that See what you have then and add to that if needed You can print various things with the free PAF and should you want more you can buy the code for PAF Companion for a few quid (£6 last I looked) Anything you enter into PAF could also then by uploaded to Ancestry again by gedcom (or any other program if you don't like PAF which I am sure you will) There is a PAF users list which is useful for help should you need it To print off to PDF you can get free PDF printers which you install rather as if its a printer Then when you go to print anything you select the PDF printer instead of your normal printer To start a new tree in Ancestry select "start a new tree" from the family trees menu or upload a gedcom from the same menu If you don't mind me saying so you have a steep learning curve in a short space of time :-( Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 01/08/2012 19:26, gayle lee stevens wrote: > I do not have Family Tree Maker or any others, I guess that would be the > right answer, I do have Ancestry where my trees are. > Is there a way to import from Ancestry to PDF? > I have one tree started but would like to start another tree can you > tell me how to start the new one, every time I click on start NEW it > takes me to documents and the tree I started is there but not letting
