Any tips for creating a family tree?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I wouldn’t put the families on seperate pages. I think what most people like to see is the entire family tree on one page. Maybe you could break it down into separate pages also, but I would be sure to include an all inclusive tree of all the known family. This could just be names without photos. I like the idea of a tree ilustration with all the names on it in beautiful calligraphy. You could leave the photos for the smaller family groups. I’m not sure how much you have to work with. A lot depends on how much good material you have. My father did the research for us and provided the photos. But he didn’t have the artistic talent or wherewithal to put it into any great format. Now that you mention it, with my Photoshop skills, I should do this. I have this book and it has a great look to it with sepia photos and collages. But the info on your ancestors may not go back so far as to have sepia photos. Mine do! Even so, it’s a great little book with nice images for presenting geniological info and archival mementos.
