One night after putting my kids to bed, I was working on our family memory scrapbook. I wanted to include a decorative couples chart for the birth story pages of my first child. Of course it had to have a beautiful tree as a suggestive background.

Online I found just one free interactive printable blank couples chart. I wasn't satisfied with it, so I continued searching. Then I found some free downloadable software with a slightly more pleasing graphic. Unfortunately I was not techno savvy enough to use it. And so the seed for this website was formed.

Here you'll find:

• A variety of free blank family tree templates to fill-in online, save to your computer or printout and display. These couples chart styles include:

• 4 Generations for 1 to 5 Children
• 3 Generations for 1 to 10 Children

• Format suggestions for filling out these decorative charts.

• Completed samples to peruse.

• 10 Interesting ideas to try with your completed chart.

• How to start discovering your ancestors.

When you're finished you'll have a handsome 3 or 4 generation couples chart for yourself or someone you love. You can put it in your scrapbook, frame it or hang it on the wall.
