How the design is made
- Square 1:1 on the Heritage oak artwork
- Vintage cabinet-card portraits in one sepia tone
- A second marriage and two families joined by a wedding
- Highlighted cards for the two presidents, Playfair Display type
Your tree takes the artwork, the cards, the fonts, the colours and the lines. The people, the photos and the texts on the page stay your own.
Two presidents, one family tree: we made this template with Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt’s family. Every person sits on a tall cabinet card, like the studio portraits of a century ago, on an engraved oak with dark brown lines.
The example shows a second marriage and two family lines joined by a wedding, so it suits blended families too. For the look in the picture, use old family photos, or photos you have toned sepia yourself, before you add them.


Your family in this style, on any page
The style takes your own people, names and photos. Here it is with a sample family of ten, in each page shape.
