How to use the family tree maker?

1. Choose which of the family tree maker templates you want to use and click on “customize”.
2. Type in the name of each family member and add a photo. It does not need to be a portrait. You can enlarge the photo to show the head only. Just drag the picture to the right or move it around to show the head only. We do suggest that you crop the photos before you upload them or use photos that are not too heavy. The family tree template is a high-resolution file with lots of detail. If you upload too many “heavy” files, it will be very slow to create. If you have already started customizing it and you find that it is slow then use smaller images or crop the images that you use.
3. To create a blank family tree, delete the text and photos (click on the x) and download the blank family tree. You can then fill in the details in your handwriting.
4. Download the family tree.
5. Print.
