Family tree charts for wedding couple bride groom ancestry, reunion, anniversary, birthday, Christmas, mother and popular father in-law gifts 12pk

Family tree chart wedding art prints (12) feature genealogy of bride and groom! Ancestry begins with a wedding couple [similar to my original design that begins with a child/children]. Decorative posters arrive with blank spaces for you or your gift recipient to finish by filling in personal family history. Examples are shown to represent how completed family tree looks with history of a couple's parents to 2x-great-grandparents and help each other become familiar with mother-and-father-in-laws. Art prints include a large oak tree with bark textured branches, leaves, acorns, sun, clouds, birds, grass—all arranged in an aesthetically pleasing, balanced drawing. Woodcut style art could be described as retro, vintage, antique, old world, art nouveau, art deco, woodland, folk, traditional, historical, primitive, rustic, garden and nature inspired.

Each FreshRetroGallery family tree chart provides the ability to record ancestry of five generations in 62 spots.

1. The youngest generation, beginning with one couple at the bottom of the chart—my example shows my mom and dad as the bride and groom.
2. Four parents—the mothers and fathers of the couple
3. Eight grandparents
4. 16 great grandparents
5. 32 great great grandparents

Many people will have quite a few unknown blank spots because of lost records, but that is okay! The important thing is to write down what is known now, before it is forgotten. Future generations will appreciate knowing about their roots.

Extra matching paper will be included with your order which can be used for corrections or for tube-banding purpose.

The illustration includes blank space to write information such as:
— name
— maiden name (maternal side)
— born
— died
— married (example shows on fraternal side)
— resided (listed on fraternal side of example)
— miscellaneous tidbits of information such as second/third marriages (see maternal mother on example)
The charts do not have lines or titles, so the space usage is very flexible.

My example was filled out by information my mom had saved. The sample shown in the pictures dates back to early 1800s in Norway and Germany. You will be surprised what you can learn when you ask elderly people in your family about their childhood and lineage. It is a fun process. It is interesting to consider there were no airplanes or cars, so traveling on the ground took much longer. During research to fill out the family tree chart, I discovered the places where my line of descent lived prior to their final destination and about trials they endured. I also learned about a dugout in North Dakota and homesteads of my grandparents who established a graham flour mill and farmed the land when they reached and Minnesota.

Many men and women enjoy recording family history as a remembrance of loved ones and to pass on to children and grandchildren. Positive benefits of understanding sacrifices others have made for us—it gives us a sense of responsibility, self-esteem and courage to make changes. Try collecting information to satisfy those questions of where you came from. It is inexpensive because references are available through loved ones, internet, churches, governmental archives, historical societies and libraries. It is a good way to connect you to your past. Genealogy is considered by some to be the fastest-growing hobby in the North America. Search websites for genealogy and you will see that millions of people are interested in finding ways to locate family or friends with whom they had lost touch. It is world wide and crosses cultures and faiths.

USES and IDEAS for CHARTS
Wedding or shower pseudo guest book.
Gifts for parents/grandparents of/or the bride and groom.
Family reunion display, party favors, group activity after Thanksgiving dinner.
Frame the family tree as a work of art and historical record to display in your home along with photos and memorabilia.
Simply roll up a blank family tree and tie a wired ribbon around the rolled tube to give as a gift to the hostess, shower favors, mother/father-in-law.
Mail or give them to your friends and relatives for special occasions such as wedding, birthday, anniversary and Christmas gifts for men and women.
Write an autobiography and keep the family tree with the story of your life.
Fold the chart and insert it into a photo album, scrapbook, journal.
File it with other historical documents for safe keeping.
Roll it and place it, as home decor, among a grouping of family keepsakes.

IDEAS for RESELLING
Display the full family tree in your physical antique store, gift shop or boutique. Put rolled trees in an attractive container. Roll each chart into a tube shape and wrap the center with a piece of gift wrap or create a paper label that has your company name and price.
Washi tape or use a decorative sticker to hold paper band, gift tag or business card around the rolled family tree without taping directly on the family tree. Rolling makes for easy transport and is gentler on the item than a rubber band. The paper is fancy, so a simple wired wide ribbon bow looks great with no need to wrap first.

SIZE of chart is 22" x 8". Blank border fits in the rabbet opening of a frame. Frame is not included. If desired, a quick "22 x 8 frame" or "22 inch resin poster hangers" web search will lead you to a variety of styles available—from an inexpensive poster frame to an elegant natural or painted wood frame to any color and finish metal picture frame. Bevel cut matting to accommodate a historical photography layout would also be an excellent choice.

PAPER COLOR: Natural parchment-style paper has neutral “cloudy” look where parts are slightly lighter and darker. The elegant paper exhibits a touch of class with a light, tactile vellum finish which is easy to write on to complete the work and make it your own. Astroparche® 60 lb. text stock is elementally chlorine as well as acid- and lignin-free for great quality that doesn't deteriorate. These charts with blank patches and gift tags are cut from large parent sheets to avoid any waste. They are FSC® certified and meet the mark of responsible forestry and Green Seal™ certified and contain 30% recycled post-consumer fiber.

HAND-WRITE or PRINT your own information on the chart's blank spaces. This gives it a personal touch and makes them a great keepsake of your handwriting as well as the information. A sharp pencil or the Pilot Precise Rolling Ball Extra Fine or similar brand pen works nicely. They are usually done either in pencil or in black, and other colors can be used as well. Some people write down the information on a separate sheet of paper first, for a draft, before writing it on the chart.

Comes with FreshRetroGallery gift tags.

The charts are often given blank as gifts so the recipient can fill them out. One woman bought several of them which she planned to use as a group activity when her family got together for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Is this a gift for friends and family who live far away? popular Put the recipient's address in the “ship to” area upon checkout. You may leave a note to personalize your gift with a note. Even if you skip that step, I won't include price information.

Professionally printed on an offset press where the vector art is reproduced with solid, crisp sharp edges. The finished product has a classic and refined look.
