I've been trying to use PAF and I'm struggling to add my sibblings on it and couldn't find where to add them so added as an individual and think I've done it wrong but can't work out how to delete the person on it, can any one help please. Regards Donna.

I have got PAF on my hard-drive. I don't use it but I have just looked and there seems to be a facility to add photos.

I use the family search one - PAF is their name for a Personal Ancestral File.
I have used it satisfactorily to print out individual branches of my tree for relatives. Can't tell you about photographs, haven't had to think about it.

sorry haven't used PAF myself, think its just the name of the program, the family search website should give you more info, there are other free ones too, think one is called Legacy, not sure if all the free ones allow you to choose what to print, I use Family Tree Maker which isn't free

Thank you Helen, thats great, I'll try it out. Whats PAF is it just the programme download name, I'm not overly technical.
Can you add photos to print off on those as well do you know as I was planning on adding photos to my genes site.
Thanks again for the tips, very much apreaciated, regards Donn.

I don't think this is possible on GR.
However if you export your GR tree as a gedcom you can load it into a family tree program on your computer. There are some free ones you can download, e.g. PAF on the www.familysearch.org site.
Most of these programs allow you to choose what to print and in what format. A program like Family Tree Maker which you would have to buy would also give you a few months free Ancestry membership for census etc.

Can anyone help please?
I have asked and tried several times to print my tree but as there are over 1000 names on it, it proves tricky as it just prints pages and pages of just lines. Is there a simple way of doing this?
I have already looked on the help pages and it didn't work.
Also is there any way I can just print off certain faimlies i.e my married side and maiden side for varies family members that wouldn't be interested in the other side?
Any help apreaciated, thanks Donna
