Show Off Your Family Tree the ‘Elijahtree’ Way

“Turn your family history into a beautiful piece of artwork with Elijahtree.
Let your family tree speak for itself.”

This is the tagline that Elijahtree has on their site, and personally I think it is just perfect for them.

Afterall, you simply won’t find another place that will show off your family tree quite like they do.

Using the names of your own family, Molly (the mastermind of Elijahtree), creates a ‘tree’ with a trunk, branches and swirls. And to say it looks stunning is an understatement.

I first met Molly back at the RootsTech conference in 2013, and it was there that I fell in love with her trees. Returning to the US for RootsTech in 2015, I found Elijahtree amongst the hundreds of exhibitors, and gave Molly a copy of my tree (gedcom file), and from that she worked her magic to create the tree above.

Elijahtree normally send the tree out to customers complete (meaning with frame), however as sending to Australia from the US was going to be absolutely ridiculous in price, I was sent the print of the tree and got it framed locally by Ladywood Frames & Crafts (www.ladywoodframes.com.au), who I have used before, and who do amazing work.

Origins … Where Are You From?

What are your origins? Where are you from? These are questions that are common amongst us genie-folk. And when asked, you know that they aren’t looking for the town where you grew up (well, not usually anyway), but rather where do your roots lie.

My origins are mostly English, with a little Irish, a touch of European, and one branch from Finland … all of this heritage is what makes me, ME!!

At our shop at work  (Gould Genealogy & History) we have had a big family tree chart of our family up on display.
