Researching family history is the second
most popular topic on the Internet (after sex). With more than 4 billion
records online today and more becoming available everyday, the Internet
is fueling the growth of this popular hobby by simplifying the process
of finding information and connecting with individuals who share a
common branch in their family tree. This unique book combines the
general surge of interest in genealogy with the popularity of memory
crafts and book 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. Inspiring
seasoned journal and memory crafters as well as genealogy buffs, 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
story-telling, information gathering, and sidebars. Full-color templates
and clip art for various types of family trees are also included.
