Recording family roots is just a click away thanks to a new web site offering more than 20 printable family tree templates and blank genealogy charts with variations designed for everyone from the seasoned genealogy buff to schoolchildren working on class projects.

All of the family trees and charts at www.FamilyTreeTemplates.net can be instantly downloaded and printed for free in PDF form (compatible with Adobe Acrobat and similar readers), and a $4 premium version is available in .DOC format. The .DOC versions are fully editable with Microsoft Word, so users need only click and type to customize them and add family members' names to the already-formatted templates.

"These family tree templates will make it easy to record family roots," said Kevin Savetz, who created the site. "I've included a wide variety of family trees and charts, from multi-generational genealogy charts to cute, simple charts for kids. Also, we found that there aren't many printable family trees available especially for children who have been adopted, so we've included one on FamilyTreeTemplates.net."

"Several of the family trees include full-color artwork and are suitable for framing," Savetz added. "Others are intentionally quite simple and in black-and-white. A couple have room to add photographs."

The categories at FamilyTreeTemplates.net include: three-, four-, five- and six-generation family trees; family trees with and without graphics; family trees with room for photos; formal family trees and family trees for kids.

FamilyTreeTemplates.net, which launched in September 2008, was created by Savetz Publishing, Inc. It is part of the FreePrintable.net family of sites, which offer letterhead templates, printable certificates, free printable coloring pages, free printable paper, stationery, recipe cards and other useful printable items. Savetz Publishing also owns FaxZero, which lets users fax from their PC; and Free After Rebate, a guide to free-after-rebate deals.
