Voila: Professional Charts to Impress Your Family

by Janet Hovorka

If your family isn’t interested, you’re just not showing it off right. The visual presentation of a family’s history is the most powerful communication tool for the genealogist. Charts can display what you have accomplished and explain your research to others by location, relationships and timelines. This class will teach easy ways to create various kinds of charts, large and small, and how you can use each type of chart to enhance your research.
