  • Patent number: 5246374
    Abstract: A kit, structure, and method for displaying pictures of related individuals or couples in a family tree according to actual family relationships The kit has at least one picture holder in the shape of a heart and several in the shape of leaves One or more branches are provided to connect the picture holders according to a structure suggested by family relationships. A heart shape around a picture represents marriage. A branch is extended from the heart shape if the marriage produced children. For each child of the marriage, a leaf picture holder is connected to the branch as if "growing" from it by a leafstalk. The marriage of a child is represented by an additional branch "grafted" into the child's leaf picture holder and an additional heart-shaped picture holder on that additional branch. If the child had children from this marriage, the additional branch extends beyond the additional heart and has additional leaf picture holders "growing" from it. This pattern continues for as many generations as desired.
