How can I print off my family tree and see it all.

I don't think that you can from Genes, but if you have a family tree program on your PC you can download your Genes tree to a Gedcom, then open it up in your software and print from there. I use Family Tree Maker which I find excellent - lots of options for tree display & printing (ancestors, descendants or combinations of the two). Richard

Jacueline, you go to old tree program and at the top it tells you to go to printer friendly page then make sure you use landscape with paper; or if you want to print from new tree highlight in blu and go to file print sec ok Babs

'File', 'Page setup' and 'Orientation' should do it.

I always recommend that people do not rely on GenesReunited for storing their family tree. It is a very crude system compared to any half decent family tree program. You can download a free program from the LDS website and others can be run unregistered in a limited form. Data can be easily exchanged between programs so you can try several. Record every little item of information in the program and record the source details. I rarely print my tree (it is too big anyway) but I often export extracts to files to EMail to people. Periodically I export the whole tree to a HTML format on a CD-ROM so it can be viewed using a browser by relatives. MB
