I am guessing that the part of my tree I want to print out, like most people's is much wider than it is deep. Does anyone know if there is a specialist supplier of frames for Genealogy purposes? I'd be grateful for any advice. Christel

I would think that any picture framer would be able to make a frame in whatever size you needed. Kath. x

My main area of research is a one-name study from a common ancestor born 1765. The last time I worked out how big the complete tree would be if I printed it, it would have been 37 pages of A4 landscape. It's not finding a frame which is the problem...it's finding a big enough room to display it all! So if sks on the board would like to knock me up an extansion, I'd be very grateful!!!!! ;-)

My tree is on my living room walls but the only way to fit it all on is to have my dad's dad's tree on one wall, my mum's tree on another and my dad's mum's on another & its still a bit of a squeeze! I would love to frame it one day but I think it'd have to be direct line only otherwise it just wouldn't work. But when do you decide that you've gone back enough?? Rachel

Thank you all for your thoughts, they are much appreciated. Elly, what an amazing site!! I didn't know such a service existed, I think I will go for that as it is for a birthday present for my Mum, and I'll get it framed as a Christmas present!! Thank you all once again Christel :) :)
