If your clients and family members aren't clamoring for more, maybe you're just not showing it off effectively. The visual presentation of a family's history is one of the most powerful communication tools for genealogists.

    A lot to think about, especially as I think there are more blanks to fill in before I could print a chart. Can see how a blank chart to fill in would help give a visual of where I am and where I need to go. Thanks.

    Amazed at all of the different designs that are obtainable.

    AOK.

    Awesome webinar, liked the variety of ideas for charts.

    Great speaker.

    Great webinar showing all the various formats and ideas for charts!

    Great Webinar! Will definitely use Family Chart Masters in the near future for our first big family reunion!!

    Awesome webinar! I’m a calligrapher, as well as an amateur genealogist. I’ve hand made genealogy charts in years past, sizes varied, dependent on how many ancestors my customers found. Times have changed; all computer now, and I love it even though I dig out my pens and ink from time to time. I can hardly wait to watch this webinar again… enjoyed it very much!

    Helpful

    Her enthusiasm is wonderful! The charts were very interesting…all those different styles.

    I did not know about family chart masters before this program. Thank you for the information!

    I loved being able to see such a large variety of charts for ideas.

    I loved it! As a former computer graphics person, and a retired typesetter, it was wonderful to see what can be done with charts!!

    I made family history charts for all my children last year for Christmas wish I had known about all this first.. the webinar was great.

    I would have liked to see more historical charts….as inspiration for creating period looks.

    I’m so excited to start creating charts to showcase my family’s legacy! Thanks so much!

    Interesting

    Interesting to see the many different charts available with backgrounds and colors and color-coding.

    Interesting!

    It was a very enthusiastic sales pitch, with some quick looks at layouts that have been produced. Most helpful is the link to the company site and a discount. When this goes to the legacy webinars, I would keep it free as it truly is a sales promotion.

    It was really 101 ways to design a genealogy chat! Thanks a lot! Now I will seek for the price of them…

    It went so fast but there was a lot to cover.
