I love a family fan chart. With the software program I use on my Mac, Reunion, I can easily create one. (I love technology.) I think it’s a wonderful, pretty, easy-to-read way to see where I am in my family history research.

Martha Stewart, queen of crafts, offers a free family fan chart template for those who might like to make one on their own.(Me, I’ll let the computer do it.) If that sounds like fun to you, go on over to Martha’s website to download it!
