I just am amazed that I found so many of my family! Starting with two sets of grandparents and going out from each one of them. I’m so happy that I got the bundle package. I now have generations of people from Germany and from England back to the 14th generation. Thanks! My Heratage. I’m having a good time resourcing my history.

Very nice, but I’d find an ancestors version much more interesting and useful, especially if it could go back a variable number of generations and get printed on A4 or A3 paper.
Looks very good. I haven’t been on the site for some time now.
is this free?Been using the site for 5 years and have found so many relations I didn’t know I had. User friendly and helpful and a great support team thats gives answers to those odd questions. Now have my direct line back to the year 720.
Brilliant idea. I created a similar chart many years ago using my daughter as the middle point with the outer spokes being her ancestors. The only problem with all charts, as mentioned by Paul, is that you need large sheets of paper to print your full tree.
It looks like a great idea.
….. I have a family wheel which I copied from one which my father did for himself in the 1930s. This family wheel looked very like your Nacson example and had my father and his brother in the centre, his parents in the first ring, Grandparents in the second and so on.
….. Mine has my sisters and myself in the centre, my parents in the first ring an so on. Of course, I have had to fill in the whole right hand side of my wheel, because it is that side which shows my mothers ancestors.
….. The wheel is great for antecedents, because they double for each generation (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc) and each ring of the wheel gets bigger with each generation, but is not as good as a tree for descendants, because two parents can have 15 children, or no children and the wheel is difficult to create and impossible to follow.

….. I have seen a very old published family wheel for Queen Victoria. This could have been where Daddy got his inspiration and could even be where your Nacson family got theirs.
….. Adrian.I agree with Paul’s comment. An ancestors option would more useful for me.
Thank you for the new option for mapping. The Sun chart looks very interesting. Thank you for the clear instructions.
Thank you! The current format is getting difficult to find particular ancestors on the tree when you’ve traced back to the dark ages.
A great idea and should be of interest to younger generation too, is it available for the my heritage ap for iPad??
I love the sun chart. And, while it is free to generate, if you want to order a chart there is a cost. I generated a nice tree (6 generations) that started with one of my second great-grandfathers at the center. When I went to print it for myself, it all went on one piece of paper so it is really tiny. MyHeritage says you can save it as a pdf file and bring it somewhere to be printed. Anyway, haven’t done this yet but I do love the concept and this would be great for a family reunion. I agree with Karen’s remark and have requested before that a “pedigree” view option at MyHeritage is really needed. People can’t navigate the tree easily.
It sounds good I would love to try it, is it hard to do?
Thanx to you at MY HERITAGE for continuing to come up with innovative ideas. Good work! 🙂
It sounds great.
My Heritage Creative Creators, I am enjoying your site so much.
This new idea sounds great.
I will register my delight on this new aspect as I work through it.
You must be a collection of really dedicated people.
Thank you for your great work & keeping us in the picture.An ancestor sun chart would be fantastic. I’ve done my own based on a square grid format but this would be much better going back for 14 generations.
Thank you for having a great chart i hope to use it very soon
It looks great ! Only one thing I can’t see, which would be very handy, is the option to put on people’s occupations.
But for a standard descendant tree it certainly looks lovely.Hi My Heritage Team,
You never fail to amaze me from a disc with the latest software to this stunning new innovation. The sun dial chart.
I certainly get my money’s worth from my subscription.
Thank you so much, mostly for caring for your ‘My Family members’.Roy Lunn Jackson

rthis sounds like fun will need to get a printer to talk to this comp soon== Thank you
That is very ingenious. Congrats!
Wow I like this . It will be nice to put it all togerher in a big sun and put on my wall.
this is great I wish that you would come up with a printed
family book that a person could buy printed by you and we could buy
it all doneinterested in this chart
I have been creating my own circular ancestral (ten generations) and descendant charts for about 40 years, drafting my own base charts. The descendant charts are more complicated and it is difficult when one family has many children. My ancestral chart is 36″ x 36″ and the writing on the last generation is very small. It is nice to see My Heritage generating the charts and offering to print them.
Only just received email from My Heritage. I am a novice both with using a computer & researching my family tree. So happy that I joined My Heritage – I have discovered so much about my ancestors. My mother (who sadly is no longer with us) always said that we had a duchess in our past! Although I didn’t find a duchess, I did find links to some important people. Amazing how these hints come down through the family & prove to have a basis. I’m excited to learn about the Sun Chart & ask my technician to help me with it. As I said, I’m a novice & I’m not tech savvy. Thanks again
I just finished putting together a 5 generation descendants chart for a family reunion and found it a great way to help people visualize the relationships in a compact format. I put my grandparents on my mothers side in the centre and plugged it into my information, and le voila.

Looks good – haven’t been on My Heritage for quite a while, but I like this site – it has good information
