In the ancestral castles of England and the family seats of the French aristocracy, the family tree hangs in the most prominent place. It is rightly considered the most valuable picture in the house. It connects the past with the future, shows how the family has grown, pays tribute to ancestors and serves as a message to descendants.
A family tree makes a remarkable gift for your relatives. It underlines the unity of a large family, helps pass family values on to future generations, and introduces children to the rich and fascinating history of their lineage.
The International Genealogical Center offers a complete range of services — from research and collection of information to the artistic presentation of the finished work. Our specialists have created more than three hundred such pictures. The most remarkable of them traced a lineage back to the 15th century: the tree contained 500 people and, standing as tall as a person, took its rightful place in the family estate.
To produce an accurate picture, the history of your family is required. If you do not have such information, you can order this service from the IGC — our specialists will carry out the research and gather archival evidence.
Already have your family history and simply want to commission the picture? The International Genealogical Center will assess the information you have and supplement it where necessary. Accuracy and reliability are the guiding principles of our work.
You can commission a family tree from the International Genealogical Center. A family tree may be ascending or descending. In the first case the starting point is usually the client themselves, with the branches of relatives and ancestors spreading upwards. In the second case the lineage spreads downwards, branch by branch, from a distant forebear, who occupies the top of the tree. Both the ascending and the descending form give a complete picture of the lives of your ancestors.
A family tree can also be arranged differently: all members of each generation are placed on a single level. You and your guests will be able to relate your ancestors' lifetimes to significant historical events, draw parallels and compare facts.
Studying history is the task of every educated person. Knowing your own lineage provides a solid foundation for building the future. Every one of us has a history to be proud of — and you can commission a unique chart of your family at our center.
Our work is built on modern technology and business practice, with particular emphasis on the quality of service. For those who wish to commission a family tree we offer distinctive terms of cooperation:
A family tree is produced by a team of specialist researchers led by a historian-genealogist with a deep understanding of how lineages are compiled. The scholars' main task is not to "draw something beautiful" but to bring history to life.
Stages of the work:
This work is complex and creative. It takes no more than three to five weeks. Exact timing can be confirmed during a personal consultation.
