    Default Family Tree Project. I need help!

    Hey, I have been doing a project on a Family Tree and I have this picture of the family tree:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    As you can see I had to take it with a camera and it didnt come out very well so I was wondering if you know if any programs I can use to recreate this properly? I have tried Word, but it is way too small to work and I was wondering if you have any idea how I can do this?

    I want it to look like the picture above and I have no idea how to make it. Any help is appreciated!

    If this is the wrong forum to ask in then just please move it to another place! it might be better for the personal problems & help forum?

    Moved from the Q&S to The Basement.

    Sorry mate but it can't be recreated. The picture already has less amount of pixels to work with, so enhancing it is impossible. Although pictures having faces, scenery etc can be enhanced by using brushes and smoothing techniques to remove pixelated areas but if the text is blur in a pic already then it will be that way, no way to do it.

    So you're better off searching for fairhair dynasty tree on your own.

    In future while taking snapshots of big images\boards, either have a digital camera that has a high amount of megapixel capture capacity or keeping the shots perpendicular take it in sections and then later on you can merge them in your computer by using an image editing program and then increase the length of the canvas. Also digital cameras commonly have a focus option in which the focal length of the lens is adjusted by calculating the distance of the image from the lens, so use that often.

    I mean that I want to make a new one from scratch by using some sort of program! To make it look something like this:



    but make it look more like the original picture.

    Wow, really?!? but will it not be a bit hard? if I just send you some text, how would you know where to put it ? I could maybe highlight where the text should be, using numbers and circling texts?

    Thanks for all the help, but I would really like if it could be done like in the picture in OP, because the threads here would allow me to make it horizontal because the tree would be to big, so I have to make it vertical like the original family tree picture.

    Like i said earlier, give me the text with the info of what needs to be where and I will do it. Either give me today or tomorrow because after that I may not be online for a few weeks\months.
