Here is a free google sheets template for you to start with. It's one really super easy tool for my toolkit that makes a big difference in communicating my data to others. No weeding through ancestor reports or copying and pasting a vertical family tree only to need to un-horizontal the resulting list. Using my horizontal family tree, it was easy peasy to copy and paste a full list of my 3rd great grandparents on that side. But I do have a fairy tale about how freakin' easy it was to get a list of my 3rd great grandparents.īecause I read this post a few weeks back and had been intrigued, I'd created a horizontal family tree already. So I don't have fairy tale story of unlocking the family mysteries of my adopted 4th cousin once removed (even were the FTDNA estimate to be accurate, which is another post altogether, I'm sure). Or should I say, that while I know we are related on my father's side, he and I are NOT related on the branches of my family tree that I have identified MRCA genetics on or that I know a great deal about through research. Unfortunately, he and I are genetically related on a branch of my family tree that I know very little of. If I only knew who all my 3rd great grandparents were, we might unlock the mystery of his father's heritage! His father was adopted and he believes us to be related on his father's side. He'd had his DNA processed at FTDNA and was excited to find that FTDNA says we are fourth cousins. Photo : Horizontal Family Tree / Carrie Norwood
