Genealogy Fan Chart

Genealogy Fan Chart

If you use familysearch.org you can create a fan chart with your family history.  All of your ancestor's names that are available through familysearch.org will be automatically filled in to create your chart.  This is a great way to see what ancestors are known in your family history and where you need to do research to see if you can find other family members who are missing.  This chart can be printed out on a 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper or it can be printed in larger sizes through a copy shop.  It is a wonderful visual way to see your family history.  With it you can see what lines you need to work on to find the names of more of your ancestors.  Getting to know your ancestors helps you to know yourself better.  Check out your family's fan chart at the link above.
