Every family has a story worth preserving. Sharing those moments in a meaningful way can be challenging, especially when you want something more personal than names, dates, and stories. At times, images are necessary to aid in visualizing the narrative.
Images always enhance the appeal of stories, yet much of history occurred before the invention of photography. Family Portrait Maker offers a fresh way to create beautiful family portraits that celebrate your unique heritage and connections.

Bring Census Images to Life
Here's one fun way to use Family Portrait Maker. If you locate your family in the census, you can form an image of what they looked like during that period. Adjust the "Time Period" slider to the census year to ensure their clothing reflects that era.

Here's another example from the 1880 census:

For this example, I chose male, elderly, fair skin tone, short brown hair, tall, thin, and entered "Pentecostal Preacher" for occupation:
Another idea is to create images honoring your ancestors' military service. I this example, I enter "patriot soldier" for occupation/hobby.
