I made a reverse family tree for myself a few years ago. It wasn’t too ambitious, just me at the bottom and the layers of parents, grand-parents, greats etc. above me all monochromatic. My husband wants one for his side, but he wants a traditional family tree that starts with his great-grandparents and traces the offspring of their four daughters. That’s 100 (soon to be 101 in a few weeks) people on this massive family tree. I like a challenge so this time it will be in color complete with a family crest, a miniature of the home place, swallows, and few squirrels thrown in for good measure. Squirrels are always a good idea…

Here are some progress shots.
