What is Geneartogy?
Geneartogy was created to help you and your family members to connect more to your family heritage. We do this by helping you take your family history photos, names and dates and create beautiful artwork out of them to display in your home.
With your own customized family tree art hanging in your home, your family will experience:
- A greater connectedness to your ancestors and to each other.
- A warm sense of heritage and of belonging to something bigger than yourself.
- A greater sense of perspective and gratitude as you reflect on the lives and sacrifices of your ancestors that helped bring you to where you are today.
This isn't just a marketing claim- this is what our customers tell us they experience. They also tell us that their custom family tree art attracts a lot of attention from visitors to their homes. "Wow, that is so beautiful! How did you do that?" is a common response. The artwork often spurs interesting conversations focused on ancestry and relations. Children and adults alike love to look at all the pictures and feel connected to their ancestry. Our customers tell us that their own custom "geneartogy" piece instantly becomes a cherished family heirloom.
Our slogan is "From Chart To Art To Heart". Most people that have done any genealogy have lots of charts stored away in books that collect dust on a bookshelf or in a drawer. We believe your family heritage deserves better! We help you bring your family heritage out into the open in a beautiful piece of art. From there the connectedness between your ancestors and your living family becomes strengthened as family members can see the faces of their ancestors and how they are all related.
You might feel intimidated at the prospect of collecting all the photos, names and dates. Don't. You do not need to have everything assembled before you start. Just start with what you have- even if it is only your parents, then add more as you go. We store it all on our site and you can log in and work on your project whenever you want from wherever you are. The actual process of collecting and photos and information can be its own reward- often connecting you to living relatives that you may not talk to much. If there are a few photos that just aren't available- don't let that stop you either. You can put the names and dates still and put an attractive looking male or female silhouette (which we provide) in the photo place.
So- don't procrastinate. If this is something you want to create, jump right in now and get started. Getting started is half the battle. We make it easy. Just enter your family names above and click Start Your Tree. You will love the process, the final product and more importantly what both the process and the product do to help you connect your heart to your heritage.

Our standard photo retouching service includes:
1-Proper Sizing/Cropping and Resolution for best fit in photo frames.
2-Background Replacement- makes all photos clean and consistent by removing the differing backgrounds and replacing them with a standard one designed to work with the art.
3-Sepia Color Correction- converts all photos to a common sepia tone that will make the photos look like they all belong together. Due to differing densities of each photo, there will still be some variation, but they will look much better together than otherwise.
If you choose not to have your photos professionally edited, you can do the work yourself using photo editing software like Photoshop. View our

marrow deep, to know our
heritage- to know who we are
and where we came from.
Without this enriching
knowledge, there is a hollow
yearning. No matter what
our attainments in life,
there is still a vacuum,
an emptiness and the most
disquieting loneliness."
