Bunnies & Power Outages

That's what I was thinking about when I started putting together a rough draft of my family tree today. You start thinking about these things.

My father's sister is Anne. Her daughter is Hedy, my cousin, who is my age and we are good friends. From a narrative her mother wrote, I pieced this thing together. It's already a huge, tangled document but good fun. And this example is just my father's side of the family. There must have been a power outage when my father's mother and father got married. Or a power surge. Some kind of surging. Whatever. My family is on the lower-right side.

I started it in PowerPoint, where they've written software for organizational charts, which are fun if you like working in an office. Then I took some screen shots of it and worked in Photoshop, because PP only goes up to 22" wide and has limited tailoring. If I can't find a good, free family tree software, I'll just do the final in Illustrator, so it doesn't enlarge all pixelated. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this.
