Genealogy Wall Art Using Free Image Editing Tools

Family History Wall Display

In July 2021 I worked on what had been a goal for a long time – producing a family history display on one of the blank walls in our downstairs hallway. I had found out about how to produce files on PowerPoint that could be sent to a company called mixtiles.com which turned the images into framed pictures which could adhere to any flat surface – and allowed re-positioning. By August, when my wife’s sisters arrived for a visit, they could see their family tree in an easy-to-view format!

I did a presentation for the Fiske Genealogical Library in January 2022 about my project, but much of it described types of image files and free tools to work with them. If you would like more information, download my class handout. There are many links on the handout, including some to template files for the project, which are on this website.
