Tons of Fun and Useful Things for the Genealogist!
This is a wonderful family group record that allows you to add all kinds of data. It is printed on a nice soft brown, acid free, archivally safe parchment type paper with a black ink giving it a warm, timeless feeling. We collected and studied many pedigree charts over the years and listened to what you needed. So, here it is.
Here is what is on this chart. In the middle, there is a place for the husband and wife and below them, boxes to add their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To the left is where you will fill in the ancestors of the husband (male side) and there are places going back 7 more generations in a direct pedigree. Below that are spaces for his brothers and sisters and below that, his aunts and uncles and below that, a notes field to add things like additional spouses, name variations, migration routes or anything that is important to make note of. There is a lot of space here for just about everyone and every thing plus empty space that you can add photos or artwork to jazz it up a little. It is intentionally left quite plain so you can add a border, art or photos or, just leave it alone and put a frame on it.
Measurements: 24" x 36". This is poster size so you can go get a cheapie poster type frame from Wal-Mart. Those frames have plastic sides that can be snapped on and off when changes need to be made or family added. We suggest first filling the chart out with a hard leaded pencil and then with a very fine point pen such as our Micron Pigma Pens. Black is suggested. After you have filled it in by pencil, go over it with the permanent, acid free, archivally safe Micron pen. Use a GOOD quality eraser to take off pencil lines or letters later.

I found this neat family tree chart when on the hunt for new stuff when I was in Salt Lake City recently for the National Genealogical Society conference. The left side is for the "husband" and the right is for the "wife". Each side will have the same spaces for the following information: father & mother, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. Another section contains: brother's and sisters, who they married and their children. Another section has: paternal and maternal aunts and uncles and their children. There is also a space for "our children" below the tree. This beautiful tree and pedigree is printed on a nice, heavy weight, tan, parchment style, acid free paper. Measurements: 23" wide x 30" tall. A biggie!
