What is a GEDCOM file?

When your family research is done online (Ancestry, myheritage) or in a genealogy application (Family Tree Maker, Reunion, Roots Magic) you can export the information as data in a GEDCOM file. Usually this is not difficult. Some sample instructions for exporting are available here for download.

PRINTING YOUR COMMISSION ART

I see that I will receive electronic files when you are done. I really want a printed poster and copies too. Can I get that?

Family Ancestrees can arrange printing for you. Just let us know when we are designing your poster so we can add this to your final quote.

I really want a poster printed on Canvas.

You can order prints through www.CostcoPhotoCenter.com, www.CostcoPhotoCenter.com or other online canvas print companies. Please request a Canvas-ready jpg when you order your poster and the file you receive will be suitable for a canvas print service. NOTE: Posters cannot be larger than 11 x 17” for print legibility.

My poster design is amazing I love it but… This year 2 cousins were married, 1 passed away and my sister had a baby!
