Create a Family Tree Calendar

Do you enjoy looking through your photo albums at family pictures? Do you treasure some of the old family photos? Would you like to be able to see them on a daily basis?

If you answer yes to the above questions, you can create a custom family tree calendar and enjoy your photos every day. Each time you look at your calendar you will be looking at some of your favorite photos. You can add photos and names to the cover and create your own photo family tree chart. Each month could highlight pictures of your ancestors. You could start in January with a photo of your parents. You could include their names, their birth dates, their places of birth and any other information you desire. In February and March you could put photos of your grandparents. In April, May, June and July you could do grandparents. In the remaining months you could do great grandparents and great great grandparents depending on the photos you have. You can do a single photo of a couple like your parents or your grandparents. You could do individual photos of each ancestor. If you have several photos of certain ancestors, you could create a collage and place as many of the photos as you would like on a page. You could put a family group photo on a page.

You can re-size your photos to fit the page. Some photos could fill the whole page. Others will have to be left very small. At Zazzle you will see a triangle warning you that the photo is too big to print well. You will need to make the photo smaller in order to make your calendar.

Below in this lens you will find a family tree calendar available at Zazzle. If you click on the link, you will be able to customize the calendar and create your own personal family tree calendar. On the cover you can change the text to be the names of the people in the photos. You could add other information if desired; but you will need to make the font smaller, and you may need to make the text box larger.

When you add your own photo, delete the current photo and upload and add your photo. You can use the arrows to adjust the photo to where you want it. You can change the text to be the names of the people in your photos. You can add birth dates, birth places, or any other information that you would like. You could even add a story about the photo if you would like. You could upload a background like a solid color rectangle created in Paint and saved as a png file. You could lighten a photo so it's like a watermark and use it as a background. When you a dd a new image if it covers a previous image that you want to keep or it covers the text, click on the arrange button and choose send to back.

You may also change the design of the calendar dates. You can add text or photos to special dates like someone's photo on their birthday or a couple's photo on their anniversary. The calendar is available in three sizes, so you can pick the size you need or the size that will fit your photos best.
