I’m absolutely thrilled about the feedback that I’ve received on my new oversized family tree charts that were added to the website a few weeks ago.  As exciting as some of the feedback is, I have also received some e-mails from people that are confused about how to take a PDF from my website and turn it into a work of art, a family tree chart that can exist on your wall fully framed.

For those of you looking for direction with regards to how to go from a PDF download to framed family heirloom, I’ll outline everything you need to know and give you some pointers and suggestions along the way. There are a number of factors that we have to consider before we get to the final product, so this will be a series of posts that will explore how you can make one of the family tree charts on my website a reality as a framed family tree chart within your home.
