Genealogy Chart
« on: Sunday 22 May 16 06:11 BST (UK) »
Looking for a blank chart to use.  Most charts begin with the oldest generation first and scales down to the present or earliest family.

I want to use a chart beginning with the youngest and existing family member descending by generations to the oldest generation .  Believe they may be named Ancestral Chart - Not sure.
Can sks help me.
Regards

Kind of like these?

With one person at the top and the branching down, rather than up?

I find cyndi's list really hard to navigate - so here's a link to their page on printable charts and forms.

Can I just clarify please?

You want the most recent person at the top then earlier generations below (like roots of a tree), rather than with the most recent person at the bottom with earlier generations branching up (like a tree branches)?

Won't that be a bit disorientating?

If that is the case maybe google upside down blank ancestry charts  ;) - you also need to consider how many generations you want on the chart - they do vary. :)

(You can get 'sideways' ones too) ... and fan charts ....

Hi Whitejaegar,  Thanks for the Irish site you suggested.
Unfortunately I'm unable to open the site, so will try to open using Google. 
This happens frequently.
Also thankyou to all the other kind people who responded.
Trying to construct a chart using MS Excel, a little daunting.  Hopefully I can get in at least 7 generations.
Kind regards

Why use Excel?! ???

7 generations = 64 ancestors.
That's rather a lot for an Excel spreadsheet.

And, are you looking for a chart, or an excel spreadsheet?
Are you just putting names on there, or dates as well?

Some sites to look at:
