Why You Will Love It

The large print 10 pt. Helvetica font makes your research easy to read on your computer screen or when printed out. Because this is a digital file, you can save as many versions as you need for different branches of your family tree and update your information as your research grows.

Typed Data Input

To type directly into the form, the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software is required. While mobile devices may view the file, we recommend using a Windows PC or Mac for the best experience. Navigating the fields is simple—just use the TAB key on your keyboard to move from one section to the next.

GEDCOM Data Input

This genealogy PDF has been optimized for AI using your own GEDCOM files. This method requires ChatGPT or Claude (Sonnet or above). Free AI plans may not work with large GEDCOM files or multiple requests. When uploading a GEDCOM to an AI, use Temporary Chat (ChatGPT) or Incognito mode (Claude), which provides some privacy protections. A recommended prompt is below.

Recommended AI prompt: 

"I have attached a 4-generation fillable genealogy chart PDF that includes an embedded file with the font, size, and safe width for each field. Make a copy of the PDF and fill it out for [NAME OF ROOT PERSON FOR THE CHART] using the attached GEDCOM. For the copy, preserve the original PDF's structure, not just the visible page — including its fillable-form definition and the embedded width file — so the result is still a working interactive form, not just static boxes with text drawn on top. Convert GEDCOM dates to standard date formats. For every field, measure the actual rendered text width against the embedded safe width — don't estimate. If text doesn't fit, abbreviate or drop whole words rather than cutting off mid-word. For fields that combine a date and a place, never shorten or split the date — only adjust the place. Before presenting the result, verify that the parent-child links match the original GEDCOM and the output PDF still has all its fillable fields recognized with your values in them."

The AI may make mistakes. You MUST check the output.
