Family Tree page for Heritage book

This was a really simply family tree book for my Heritage Album. I used some genealogy software to create the tree, saved it as a jpg, and then scrapped around it.



Please excuse the blue mark outs on the page. We have to protect the living people since not everyone on the internet is honorable.
