A family tree can be a beautiful work of art as well as an informative genealogical record. This fan chart and our hand-lettered tree are simple projects that yield striking results. Both plot ascendant lineage, meaning that they begin by charting the present generation at the bottom and expand upward as they go back in time.
Family Trees
A traditional way to display genealogy, a fan chart begins with you and chronicles your ancestral lineage on both sides of the family.
