Welcome to the Show Stopper Challenge - Genealogy (Family Tree), my name is Jenni aka Ozegirl and I will be hosting this challenge for you all.
I started my page from scratch with a tree shape from PSE shapes but you may wish to do a chart - there are many free family tree templates and charts on the internet to get inspiration from. As this challenge is about your family tree it doesn't necessarily have to feature an actual tree but may in journaling form tell us about your family history - it must however go back at least to your grandparents - where they were born, the sort of life they lived, did they emigrate etc. and the journaling must be a feature of the page and not just a few lines.
However you may not know much of your family history so your journaling could be about why this is, whether you are interested in finding out more, if you have thought about doing your DNA or have done so.
For this challenge I created my page with the wonderful bundle MY PEOPLE by JB designs by Dani.
My page shows my parents, grandparents and photos of three of my great grandparents.
