Just for Fun Friday // 5 Fun Newspaper Clippings from the early 1900s

126 Names Project // Learn About One Ancestor Every Week

We get so excited about displaying and showing off the genealogy that we have “done”, but how often do we take the time to learn who they are?

One of my favorite things about Family History is the connections. Seeing how I came to be through who they were. Maybe this project will help help us learn a little more about ourselves!

126 Names is a project that I am hosting on my Instagram account: instagram.com/branches.art

There are 126 ancestors on my 6 Generation Family Tree, so each Saturday or Sunday, I’ll learn SOMETHING about someone on my tree. It doesn’t have to be much, but SOMETHING about one of my Ancestors. Then I’ll share it on IG.

Please join me! If you would like me to see and share your posts too, tag @branches.art and use the hashing #126names

Annual Print & Update Sale (EVEN BIGGER this year!)

It’s January again and YES, I am doing my Annual Printing and Update Sale! This year is better than ever! Not only am I offering an amazing sale on our printing and updates, I am also offering discounts to create new trees! Please take a minute and let your friends and family know!

Why do I love this sale? I get emails every January from customers who have either created or received a tree for Christmas, only to realize that there is a spelling or date error that was not caught in the proofing process. This is SO common and understandable!
