The Family Tree

Several years ago for Mother's Day, we gave Mom a genealogy fan chart that I purchased from Martha Stewart.  Mom has done countless hours of research and has traced her heritage back many generations.  Later, for her birthday, I commissioned a calligraphy artist to print the names onto the chart and had the chart professionally framed.  Of course there are many more names to add now.  So many that the chart would almost be full.  But Mom has enjoyed it and I love seeing this in her family room.

There are so many great options for displaying genealogy.

I thought this was a clever way to display "his" and "hers" side by side and am tempted to do this very thing myself.  You can print your own chart here.

Here is another variation from Martha.

I really like this tree and the bold, graphic punch it gives this space.

If you prefer something a little more modern, this is a fun version from 71 Toes.

Have you created a family tree?  This is definitely going on my ever growing list of things to do.
