Family Tree Unique Personalized Jewish Gift Custom Present Bespoke Ancestry Chart 4 Generation Genealogy Ancestors Descendants Tree Of Life FT-16 The Custom Jewish Family Tree by Mickie is part of her new and beautiful line of artwork that is fully customizable and specifically designed as a truly one-of-a-kind personalized gift. The Jewish Family Tree is a wonderful gift. It lists family members, including parents, grandparents and great grandparents, along with siblings, aunts and uncles. It can be customized to include a personal quote at the bottom, increase or decrease the number of names included, and can even have additional personal info included, such as a Hebrew names. If you would like to include other information, it can be incorporated into the artwork as well (extra cost would be added for extensive changes). Each individually produced fine art digital print can be ordered as a fine art print in two sizes. Due to the amount of information on this family tree, we recommend choosing the large size. PLEASE NOTE: Computer monitors vary! Colors and contrast may differ slightly from what you see on your screen. PERSONALIZING After you purchase the family tree, I will send you an information form to fill out. Family Trees often have a lot of information and sometimes I have questions. Please provide your phone number so that if questions arise, I can contact you and get answers quickly. When I have finished your family tree, I will send you a proof to see and review (I can send it on Etsy messages or to your email). When you approve the proof, I will complete the order and send it to the printer. When personalizing the wording for you, I can include Hebrew. If you need help with spelling, please ask me. TIMING After I have all of the information, it takes about two weeks to personalize the Family Tree. When you approve the digital proof, I will then print, and ship it to you. SHIPPING INFO Family trees take a little longer to prepare than non-personalized artwork. Once you have approved the proof, it will take 3-5 business days to print your artwork, then 3-5 days in transit (depending on where you live). RETURN POLICY Custom Artwork is not returnable and non-refundable. QUESTIONS? Always feel free to contact me to ask questions!

Many family tree researchers will find during their research that there is at least one illegitimate ancestor in their family. Illegitimacy is no longer

5-Generation Ancestor Birth Locations Yesterday my friend J Paul Hawthorne posted an ancestor birth location chart on Facebook. The idea took off like wildfire and soon most of my genealogy friends had created theirs. Sounds silly? Sounds like a waste of time? What can I say except it was fun! I created mine only instead of starting with me and going up my ancestral lines, I created one starting with my father. There is no point to starting with my mom because after her all the boxes would say "England" The visual aspect of this chart appeals to me. At a glance I can see that 5 of my 8 second great-grandparents were immigrants. So thanks Paul for giving me something bright and shiny to distract me from what I should have been doing. I loved creating this! UPDATE: I've been asked how to create this. I did mine in Excel, counting the rows that Paul used to make his. Here's an image of mine with the number of rows entered so you can create your own. If the entry contains more than one cell, you have to merge the cells to create a cell of the sizes shown. Be sure to change the colour green to different colours for each country you enter. For example, all Ireland would be one colour, all New York would be a different colour. Have fun!
