Left to right layouts, tree shaped charts, circular or semi-circular designs and single lines of descent are also possible. The best quality papers, vellum or parchment will be used for your chart. Some papers are available in large rolls enabling very extensive genealogies to be written on a single sheet. The chart opposite shows two direct lines of descent linked by a marriage and the resultant children. The banner heading shown is a very attractive way of incorporating the title of the chart. Below is an enlargement of one of the illuminated initial letters. |
Coats of Arms, crests, illustrations of houses or towns, illuminated headings or other artwork can be added. |
