Explore even more benefits of our seven-generation family tree templates:
- Use a precise grid for 127 people. Seven generations of direct ancestors consist of over a hundred people, so creating a neat grid from scratch can be a challenge. We offer templates with radial or tree grids, which include placeholders for the names and dates of each ancestor across seven generations.
- Don't waste time on design and structure. Our layouts accurately show the connections between all your relatives, from you to your parents, grandparents, and so on, all the way back to the seventh generation. In radial grids, ancestors are arranged in sections, while in tree-like grids, all connections are shown with lines. Our templates also support digital keyword search.
- Fill out and edit any family tree element. You can choose from ready-made template versions in Google Docs and Word, or Google Slides and PowerPoint. Text editors are your go-to choice when creating a printable version of a family tree, while presentation editors offer more flexible tools for customizing placeholders, inserting photos, and adjusting the design.

7 Generation Family Tree Templates FAQ
A 7-generation family tree template is a pre-made layout with a grid for 127 people (you and 126 direct ancestors) spanning seven generations. These templates feature a fan chart (with you in the center and connections extending from the center of the circle to its perimeter) and a standard ancestral layout (with connections shown as lines from you to your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on back to the seventh generation).
Seven-generation family tree templates are primarily used for detailed family history research and help you organize all your ancestral data in a single document. Our templates can be filled out digitally in Google Docs, Word, Google Slides, or PowerPoint and then printed, stored in the cloud, or shared online.
A seventh-generation family tree includes 126 direct ancestors, not including the central person. It starts with two parents, and each generation doubles that number ( four grandparents, eight great-grandparents), and so on back to the seventh generation, which includes 64 people.
The fan chart (radial layout format) works best for a 7-generation family tree. With this format, you are positioned in the center of the circle, and generations of your ancestors are shown from the center to the perimeter, starting with your parents and going back seven generations. It's convenient to list the names and dates of life of all your relatives.
The standard family tree format, where all relationships are shown as lines from you back to the seventh generation, also works. On TheGoodocs, you can view examples of fan charts and classic 7-generation family trees and even download a free template to start filling it out right away.
