William Wallace (braveheart is my 32st GGU) "William the Conqueror" is my 25th GGF - Tila of Hun is 44th GGF a lot work unable to print. Ancestral Quest software could print large files, 36,000 pages 70 reams of paper, but couldn't handle the growing tree (at this time tree was 1.6 million) so have added a lot more with roots magic. Please tell you have a program that can print large files - my computer is at 16 MB Ram computer that handled 36K pages was 8 MB Ram. Here's hoping, Gary gary.thexton@ bigpond.com Edited: Monday, July 25, 2022 by genome

First you need to export a GEDCOM file from your current software, and then import it into GenoPro. When you initially display it in GenoPro, it will be a tangled mess, since the individuals in your tree don't have x and y coordinates yet. Before you spend the hours it will take to untangle your tree, go visit your local print shop and figure out what your plotting options are. Some shops will only do A0. Others will print a 4' high roll for 100' or 150'. Others will have 5' rolls or 6' rolls. Larger paper sizes will cost exponentially more, and prices can vary significantly from shop to shop. I'd recommend picking one ancestor, maybe 6 or 7 generations back, and plotting all of their descendants. It's difficult to estimate how many hundreds (or thousands) of people that might be. Once you know the cost to print and the limitations, and approximately how many people you want to display, create a box around the perimeter of your genomap in GenoPro, and use the appropriate sizes to get all the generations to fit in the amount of real estate you have. There are guidelines for how big a font should be on a poster when you are standing 3' away.
