Folks, these are great charts! I just did a fan chart out to 10 generations. The pdf file was about 400kb and I took my thumb drive to FedEx Print shop. They have those large format copiers with 36″x48″ stock paper. It printed out beautifully high quality with no pixelization in about four minutes right from the thumb drive plugged into the copier. The descendancy charts with boxes around the names also look wonderful in preview and could be printed similarly as long as you don’t go to too many generations.


Well Thats Christmas covered
