Blank Family Tree Template
When your family structure does not fit any pre-made shape — large extended branches, multiple marriages, half-siblings — start from a blank canvas instead. This template opens the editor empty: add your first person, connect parents, spouses, and children, and the layout arranges itself as you go.

FAQ
Is a blank tree harder than using a pre-filled template?
Only at the very start. The automatic layout handles positioning, so you only decide who to add next.
Will I lose my work if I close the tab?
Your tree is saved in your browser automatically. Come back on the same device and it is still there.
Can I start blank and still print?
Yes — export works the same as any template: PNG, JPG, or transparent PNG.
