We're so happy you've chosen to print with us! MyCanvas is a self-publishing website that enables ancestry.com and familysearch.org members to incorporate some of the information from their online trees into Family History Books, Posters, and Calendars.
We offer Family Tree Posters that display a portion of your Ancestry & FamilySearch tree, including names, photos, and dates. Unfortunately, we can't print out the entire family tree.
Our goal at MyCanvas is to create an attractive family tree poster suitable for framing. If we include more generations on the Tree Chart than is currently allowed, the print will be too small to read, elements will be cut off during production, and the poster will be too large to frame.
We have three poster options in MyCanvas:
Standard
Combination
Descendant
The Standard and Combination Posters are pedigree charts only. In genealogy, a pedigree chart is designed to include the direct line of ancestors and not all the various branches. Once your poster has been generated, you can add any additional names and information you choose to customize it and manipulate it before you order your poster.
