Hand-Drawn Family Trees

A couple of months ago, I wrote  some articles about some unusual family history records.  One was about  Frakturs which are hand drawn, elaborate certificates of birth and marriages.  I also wrote a post about mourning paintings that memorialize a deceased loved one.

I recently came across yet another fabulous source - hand-drawn family trees that are also "Works of Art."  I can only imagine how long and painstaking a process this must have been to create the trees below:

The art form has evidently carried forward to present time.  There are several artists who will custom draw or paint your family tree in anyway imaginable.

The drawing above is by an artist from England who sells custom drawn family trees on ETSY and you will find her site HERE.
