MyHistory offers new automated chart printing service

Yorkshire based MyHistory is beta testing a new automated chart printing service via a dedicated platform at http://charting.myhistory.co.uk. The system allows you to send a Gedcom file, and it will print out a chart using the FamilyHistorian 6 software. The following is noted on the site:

This is our new website for customers to submit a gedcom file and get a chart design returned within minutes. It is currently in test mode but it does work and you may take advantage of a 20% discount if you place an order using this new automated design service. We would welcome feedback to support@myhistory.co.uk

Further details on the service are available via the website.

(With thanks to MyHistory via Facebook)

Family Tree Books and Charts

Time for a quick plug for a Glasgow based service called Family Tree Books and Charts, which produces quality bound copies of family histories and all sorts of charts. I met both Malcolm Holt and Leslie Williamson from the service at the SAFHS Conference in Dundee last Saturday, and was impressed with the products they have to offer.

To view their wares visit www.familytreebooksandcharts.com, where you will also find a short demonstration video outlining what to expect within the books. The service itself is based at Unit 9, Claremonet Centre, Glasgow, G41 1BS, and can be contacted via enquiries@familytreebooksandcharts.com.
