How these were made

The family is invented, so no real person appears in any picture on this site. Each look was made in the editor by choosing a colour scheme in the Style step, then adding portraits and a title. The tree designs use the Heritage tree, which draws branches, roots and leaves for every poster, and the chart uses the pedigree wall chart with generations in columns. Colours, leaf density, branch thickness and the aged finish can all be adjusted, so these are starting points rather than fixed templates.

Your own poster will look different, because it is drawn from your own people, places and photos. If you would like to compare sizes before you print, the poster size guide shows how much room each paper size gives you.

Try them on a family

Open the sample family and change the look in the Style step, or add your own GEDCOM file. For more about each design see the tree of life and wall chart pages.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real families?

No. Every example is made from an invented family, so no real person’s details are shown. Real examples will only ever be added with the permission of the family.

Can I change the colours?

Yes. Every colour can be changed, and you can start from any of the looks shown here.

Which example should I start with?

Spring is a good default for a tree of life, and the wall chart is the clearest for reading names. You can switch between them without losing your work.
