A blank 4-generation family tree worksheet. Print one for each guest, sit with the elders, and fill in names, birth years, and birthplaces together. The conversations it sparks are the real gift.
Fill in names, birth year, and birthplace for each person
A family tree worksheet at a reunion is uniquely powerful because all the resources you need are present: elders who know the names, younger family members who want to know them, and the shared context of a family gathering that makes asking these questions feel natural. You could spend hours researching the same information online — or you could sit next to Aunt Frances for ten minutes and get the answer straight from the source.
This worksheet covers four generations: you, your parents, your grandparents, and your great-grandparents. Each box has fields for name, birth year, and birthplace. These three data points are enough to begin researching family history on platforms like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch — both of which use name + approximate birth year + birthplace to locate historical records.
Everyone — but it's especially valuable for children and younger adults who may not know their family history well. Pair them with older relatives to fill in the names together. The conversation that happens while completing the worksheet is often more valuable than the finished document.
This worksheet captures the basics — names and relationships for up to 4 generations. It's the ideal starting point before diving into platforms like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch. Once you have the names from this worksheet, a genealogy platform can help you trace further back and connect with historical records.
Reunly's guest list tracks family branches, so you already have a structured view of which family lines are attending your reunion. You can use that branch structure as a guide for filling in the family tree worksheet — the branches you've defined in Reunly correspond to the major branches on the tree.
