Font Sheets for Transfer Paper Rub On What if someone on my Geneartogy project has died since I purchased it? If you want to add a death year to an existing printed Geneartogy project, the best way is to download this file and print out on TRANSFER PAPER the applicable font page for the font on your project. Transfer paper can be purchased on many sites online- just Google "transfer paper." It can also be purchased at many office supply stores or scrapbooking supply stores. Once you've printed the appropriate font page on transfer paper, just find the right year and size and then rub it on your canvas. For best results, take your canvas off the wall, and place a book behind it so you have a firm surface. Then carefullly place the right part where you want it and rub the numbers onto your canvas using a hard item like a pen lid, a stylus, etc. Download

This is a two-page PDF form to print out and fill out. You can then fax it to us at the number on the form and we will use it to start building your tree. You can then either send your pictures by mail, email or upload them into your project. Download
