Family tree abbreviations are shortened versions of words or phrases, and can be easier to use, especially on a family tree when space can be limited. You are sure to find many family tree abbreviations in transcripts of parish registers, census returns, other transcripts, indexes and genealogy books as you conduct family history research. These

We're going to start a new series on the blog. We had such a great response from our Favorite Charts from 2015 collection that we've decided to start featuring more of our client's charts on the blog. If your chart is chosen, we change all the information on living people (or all the people) and you get a $25 gift certificate. It is great "cousin bait" to let us show off one of your charts and we promise to forward any inquiries to you as well. So let us know if you want your chart to be considered in this new series. I'm starting this series off with the chart I've been working on for my own family. My parents recently moved to a new house and there was a perfect wall above the staircase, already fitted with track lighting. So of course, design work on the most epic Family ChartMasters chart began. We showed off a draft copy of this chart at RootsTech. (Click on the image to see the full chart) Since this version, we've added more stories, more icons and we're just about ready to print. The final version will be 7 feet tall and 10 feet wide, printed on canvas. It will have 140 stories and 80 pictures and 9 icons for soldiers, immigrants, pioneers, etc. etc. There is no way any grandchild will grow up in this family without knowing all about our family history. And like many of our clients have experienced, the exciting part has been how many new breakthroughs we've made while we've been working on this chart. I have grandparents and great-grandparents who have collected all of this information, so it has been fun to make new discoveries in their research as we've been putting this together. My Mom has been putting together the stories and has discovered all sorts of new characteristics and struggles and triumphs of some of our lesser known ancestors. And yesterday, she was able to connect with a cousin to find a couple of long lost journals and biographies along one line. The cousin didn't realize they had all this information until my Mom pursued the issue. Goldmine. I'll let you know when we get it installed. If you ever want to put together an *epic* family history chart for your family, you know where to come. You just start with a free consultation and we take it from there. We'd love to print one for you too.

Generation in a family tree refers to people who have blood related to us and born and live in the same era. According to Oxford dictionary, generation is all the people who were born at about the same time.
From our newsletter. When you start talking about your family's history do your family members suddenly have a "pressing engagement?" Do you see eyes rolling when you show your latest find to your children? Why are genealogists so misunderstood? Why don't your family members get how cool this all is? Maybe your genealogy is boring because you haven't been using your pictures enough. I just found a new picture for my family tree today on Wikipedia of all places--a super exciting find. And like your family members, I was so excited to see the similarities, to see what my ancestor was really like. One of your best friends in going from snoring and boring, to exciting and inviting is the pictures in your family's history. We love creating genealogy picture charts to help you show off your family tree. I think my mom eventually turned me into a genealogist by having those pictures on the wall. But a chart goes even further--it gives you context with the time and places of each persons life. The graphical representation of your family is a great communication tool. You might try pulling them in visually. We would love to help you create a beautiful, distinct chart. We start with a personal appraisal of your genealogy information, and then create an unique presentation just for your loved ones. As I've said many times, family history is all in the way you tell it. No one Modern and antique photos combined together can be the best genealogy bait. will turn down a chance to look at a picture of their Great Grandfather who looked like them, see their father's report card, or find out about the trouble their Grandmother got into as a child. It's all in the way you present it. Let us help you present your history to your family in a visual way, with context in time and place, and your family will start to become curious.

Hindsight is always 20/20, don’t you think? It’s pretty easy to take a long look back and see the error of our ways. If we had that extraordinary vision, we might save ourselves countless hours of aimless research. Having worked on my own family tree or maybe “tangle of roots,” for over thirty years now, I have come to realize that my missteps may indeed be beneficial to others. In other words, “do as I say, not as I do.” Hindsight is always 20/20, don’t you think? It’s pretty easy to take a long look back and see the error of our ways.

Wij helpen de Sint en Kerstman graag met het vinden van originele, genealogische geschenken. Speciaal voor hun hebben we 2 feestelijke december-cadeautips: 1. Ingelijste kwartierstaat Verras een gezins- of familielid met zo’n prachtig ingelijste kwartierstaat van de persoon in kwestie. En eigenlijk doet het er niet zoveel toe of het nu van de Sint of de Kerstman komt; het is gewoon een mooi en origineel geschenk om te krijgen. En om te maken en te geven! Benodigd Veel is er niet voor nodig: allereerst het kwartierstaatvel van Familie in Beeld en een passende lijst. We zijn hiervoor bij diverse winkels geweest (IKEA, Xenos, Blokker, Hema), maar het mooiste exemplaar was die van V&D (prijs € 19,- / art.nr. 850 20834011 / afmetingen: 30x40 cm). Het A3-vel past er nét niet precies in, maar als u van de boven- en onderkant een randje afsnijdt, past hij wel. De persoonsnummers in de ovaaltjes komen uit een Pickup plakletterboekje (type ‘Largo’, 5 mm hoog) en de teksten zijn geschreven met een watervaste en lichtechte documentenpen van Schneider (kleur: zwart, schrijfdikte 0,8 mm.). Tot slot heeft u foto’s nodig van zoveel mogelijk personen in de betreffende kwartierstaat. Werkwijze Kopieer de portretfoto’s op de gewenste grootte en knip ze uit. Het schild en de ovaal in de bovenste generatie dient als uitgangspunt. Maak de rechthoekige foto voor de man en de ovaal voor de vrouw 2 tot 3 mm rondom kleiner dan het getekende figuur. Snijd de foto van de man uit en rond met de schaar de 2 onderste hoeken af. De ovaal van de vrouw gewoon uitknippen. Snijd het A3-vel op maat en plak de fotootjes op. Plak de Pickup-cijfers op hun plaats en vul de rest van de gegevens in. Maak het glas aan beide zijden schoon en lijst het vel in. Leg de lijst hierbij achterste voren op een zachte, schone ondergrond, zodat het hout niet beschadigt. Klik hier om de benodigde producten in onze webshop te bekijken/bestellen. 2. Familie in Beeld tijdschriften 1 t/m 4 Deze cadeau-tip is nog simpeler en kan het begin zijn van een leuke en waardevolle hobby. Kent u iemand met interesse voor genealogie? Geef hem of haar de 4 gedrukte nummers van Familie in Beeld cadeau en vermeld daarbij de mogelijkheid om voortaan een GRATIS online-abonnement te nemen. Omdat diegene alle voorgaande online uitgaven te allen tijde nog kan bekijken, heeft hij/zij de héle serie compleet. Speciaal voor de Sint en Kerstman hebben we t/m 21 december een speciale aanbieding: €15,- (verzendkosten voor een tijdschriftenpakket zijn €3,50). Klik hier om te bestellen.
