The search reads the titles, the name of every person on a chart, the conditions, the event cards, the authors of the stories and the descriptions. Examples to try are haemophilia, Anne Boleyn, twins, diabetes and Shakespeare.

EditorThree templates are open to everyone. A free account opens all 34.
Your workOpening a template replaces the family saved in this browser, so export that family from the editor as a JSON project first if you want to keep it. Every other chart is offered beside the saved family and never replaces it unasked.
Each template is an example family that opens in the editor, with the notes that rebuild it. The families are fictional, and the charts follow the notation of McGoldrick, Gerson and Petry.
Family tree charts of invented families, with blank sheets to print
Each family is invented, drawn as a family tree with names, years and a branch for each family name. Nobody on these charts is real, so they carry no condition and no relationship line.
Family history charts of dynasties, historic families and mythology
Real families are drawn from published facts, with the portraits that are free to use and a credit for each. Conditions and relationship lines are recorded only for people who died before 2000.

Blank formsThe family tree sheets are blank forms to fill in by hand, an extended family tree, a tree in Spanish and English and two coloring pages. The genogram part adds blank three and four generation sheets, and there are family tree templates to type into for Excel, Word and PowerPoint, with the steps to open them in Google Slides and Google Sheets.
Family health treeThe medical family history sheet is a family health tree of three generations, with room under each name for the conditions, the age each began and the cause of a death. The US Surgeon General’s My Family Health Portrait keeps the same history in the browser, sends it to no government or other server and saves it only as a file you download.
PrintingEach sheet is a PDF on A4. A chart from the editor prints through its PDF export, which needs a free account, on one sheet from A4 or US Letter up to A0, or tiled across A4, Letter or A3 pages for a poster. Tiled pages overlap by 10 mm unless you choose otherwise, and carry crop marks, alignment targets and a map of how they join. The site prints nothing itself, so a home printer or a print shop prints the PDF.
Templates are teaching examples. The medical and clinical families are fictional unless a card states otherwise, and the historical families are drawn from published facts. A symbol records only what was entered. It does not establish a diagnosis, an inherited risk or the cause of a family pattern.
