Researching family history is one of the most popular topics on the Internet. With more than 4 billion records online today and more becoming available everyday, the Internet is fuelling the growth of this popular hobby by simplifying the process of finding information. This unique book combines the general surge of interest in genealogy with the popularity of memory crafts and journal-making. The projects featured encompass many mixed-media techniques and provide beautiful ideas for creating family trees that will become family heirlooms and keepsakes. The book divides projects into three styles: family trees designed to be hung as a piece of artwork on a wall; family tree books and journals; and dimensional family trees that take a more sculptural approach. Each project includes clear and concise directions as well as tips about storytelling, information gathering and sidebars. Full-colour templates and clip art for various types of family trees are also included.
