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.

Yes, this is the one that had a mistake and is now back, corrected, printed in black ink (for better contrast) and better than ever!
