Please post the content of the TEMPLATE_DIRS Variable in your settings.py — rollinger, Oct 21 '17 at 08:58
Don't use an absolute path (unless your template is really in that directory, starting from root). — , Oct 21 '17 at 09:22

1) Check what is in TEMPLATE_DIRS Variable in settings.py. That is the folder Django looks up in every app in order to find your template.

2) Try remove the leading slash:

{% extends 'template1/personal/header.html' %}

3) if template1 is in TEMPLATE_DIRS, then 'app/template.html' would be enough

{% extends 'personal/header.html' %}
