I am trying to hard copy a tree of 200 +
How would you go about writing it down ?

I HAVE A LOT ON MINE
I USE A ROLL OF WALL PAPER AND DRAW IT OUT ON THE BACK

Joy I am trying to do this as a folder for someone ... a finished product. from the youngest to 1775
I have their tree on paper all around my walls ( I live in a small place lol )

Do you have an off line FH tree programme?

Rather than print off the tree in one go, how about just doing the direct ancestors, and stick the sheets of paper together?

You could then do separate ones for each generation so that you can show siblings, with named parents and select a different colour for the direct line person you are following.

You could also go over the 'linking line' in a bold colour so it is easier to follow.

DET I have it on FTM 2006 BUT they don't and I need to put it all into a binder without PC, for them.

Aww bless my non Geney OH he has said he will write it all up tonight while I go out on a girly night

if you want to give it as a present, then get on to Ron (member here) at genealogyprinters.com and ask for a price - you just send him yer gedcom and he sends back a beautifully printed tree :-)
