Family tree maker software/template

Hi,

This must have been asked before, but I could not find this by the search tool.

I am looking for a free or relatively cheap online family tree maker or template which allows a 'one page' view and print option showing all generations. Commercial software, such as My Heritage require you to join the premium service for this, I would like to show my dad this when I see him in Devon at Easter, so any help much appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hope you have more luck than I did Mr Zippy, didn't think to ask on here though, but I wanted to do one for my Aunties 90th, still not done, maybe for Xmas instead lol

Louisa, thanks for that, how I managed to miss the family search one is beyond me as I use their site a lot and find them really helpful! Have downloaded it now anyway, so Aunty may just get a belated birthday present.

There's several My Heritage, Ancestry.com

Also try putting free family trees into web browser.

Be careful it gets a hold of you i've reach the dizzy heights of nearly 8000 and growing

Good luck in your research don't be surprized what you might learn, bigmist's, murdeers,
 
Ok thanks. Have downloaded My Heritage, but free one only allows about three generations max to be viewed. Premium is advertised at only £4.50 a month, but you are charged £95 upfront! work that one out. Will try Roots Magic.
 
On the My Heritage tree page there is a slider at the top marked 'Generations.' This allows you to view 3, 4 or 5 generations. There are many chart options but as you say, an all in one is not available. Roots Magic (Free) seems much more restrictive.

I think you will find a "one page view" of even a small tree very hard to read as it will have to be very small print to get it on the page
