For the love of genealogy, FamilyTree Traditions provides unique ways to remember family. We create custom designed family trees and other digital creations that celebrate family, home and heritage. We also provide professional genealogy services for those who need help filling in the blanks.

Genealogy is a tradition worth sharing. At FamilyTree Traditions, our mission is to aid others in locating unknown or forgotten ancestors, and to preserve each family story with unique artwork, books and gifts that can be passed down from generation to generation. Book a free consultation.

For those still searching for their roots, we’re here to help them discover the past. While lineage tools are more accessible than ever, our training and experience in genealogy can help uncover new information, provide historical context, and explore DNA results. While there may be certain questions that can’t be solved, our pledge is to always conduct thorough research, presented with sensible conclusions in a professionally cited report for each of our clients.

Our custom works of art, and other artistry, provide a modern way to showcase ancestry in the home. It’s our hope that they become new family heirlooms that will prompt generations to ask about those that came before them—the lives they lived, their country origins and cultural traditions.
