Descendant charts

Free, easy-to-edit descendant chart templates.

Descendant charts are a simple graphic representation of three generations descending from one couple, ie father, mother, children and grandchildren. Use as for family group charts when you want to include three generations instead of two.

You can download free blank descendant charts for families of up to four children and up to twelve grandchildren per child. There are charts with and without connecting lines. 

There are many possible variations of number of grandchildren per child. So you might have to delete some boxes or cells from the chart to suit your family.
