Choose your fonts and font colors.
Four font styles are recommended for the primary and secondary text of the website. The primary text consists of the actual first and last names of the individuals on the chart, while the secondary text is listed below their names and in a smaller font. The secondary text is primarily for the titles of individuals. We also have five font colors for the base font. Our design team recommends that you switch font color and, potentially, font style for the secondary text of the website. Please emphasize a desire for customization options for font style and color in your inquiry if you'd prefer a font style or color that is not present below.
Cochin font style
Charm font style
Trattatello font style
Antiquarian Scribe font style

Choose from our matting selection (if you are framing your piece with us).
Matting and framing options vary depending on the paper style you selected and whether or not you selected a deckle edge for your print (see below for more information). For deckle edge papers, we require a floater frame, and this frame style may limit your matting options depending on the depth of the floater frame and how many mats are able to fit within the frame style you have chosen. If you chose the canvas paper option above and desire it to be wrapped over a canvas wood frame, then you do not qualify for matting options.
Two mats and one frame can be added per chart being framed, and the largest size matting we can offer for any piece is 40x32 inches for custom matting. After receiving your inquiry, we will contact you about matting placement and measurement customization.
04
Choose from our framing selection.
If framing is desired, wrapped canvases and anything with a deckle edge will require a floating frame. If you select any remaining paper style and do not want a deckle edge, your piece will require a regular frame. Below is an example of each type of framing style mentioned above, as well as a few framing options under both the floating frame and regular frame categories. Please keep in mind that the largest custom frame size we can produce is 48x96 inches. To view our complete list of framing options, including 100s of styles and colorways, please include a request to viewing framing options in your inquiry submission

GENEALOGY RESEARCH SERVICES
Our research has resulted in over 41 approved applications among several prestigious genealogical organizations, including well-known organizations such as the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and prestigious organizations such as The Order of Founders and Patriots of America and Daughters of the Cincinnati, to name a few. If you have never been approved for membership by an ancestral organization before and you are considering purchasing a chart, our research team is happy to offer their genealogical research services on a case-by-case basis at an additional service charge. Further consultation would be necessary to be able to provide you with a custom quote and an estimated lead time for the project you are inquiring about.​
