As the computer age has established itself, it has become more and more common for genealogical data to be located on a PC or in the cloud. We only see the information we seek out ourselves and it can be difficult to see the long lines on a screen.
Here are 3 good reasons why you should have a large-format family tree hanging on your wall.
1. Single working document
If you make notes in pencil, it's also easy to edit the content of the family board.
The pencil can also be combined with post-it notes to make the workflow work even better.
2. Get an overview
Navigating around family names on a PC can be quite challenging. Yes, you get a lot of names, but you lose the overview. With a genealogy board hung on the wall, it's much quicker to follow the lines than to click back and forth in a genealogy program.
3. Show your work to visitors
While the work done on a PC is somewhat more secluded, a genealogy board hanging on the wall is something that catches guests' attention. If you bring your computer to show off your work, it can easily be seen as bragging, but with a genealogy board on the wall, it's the guests themselves who invite you to talk about their family.
