We transform your family's history into stunning, hand-illustrated genealogy maps and custom ancestry artwork — crafted by expert researchers and artists across the USA.
From deep archival research to museum-quality printed artwork — we bring generations of history to life.
Our researchers dig through census records, immigration archives, military rolls, and church registers to uncover your authentic family lineage going back generations.
We hand-illustrate geographic maps tracing where your ancestors lived, traveled, and settled — beautifully framed artworks that become treasured family heirlooms.
Elegantly designed tree diagrams with portraits, crests, and calligraphy — printed on archival paper and ready to display in your home or gift to loved ones.
We compile your research into a professionally designed hardcover narrative book, complete with family photographs, historical context, and personal stories.
We pair your existing DNA test results with documentary research to pinpoint ethnic origins and connect you with potential relatives across the country and abroad.
Bring faded old photographs back to vivid detail and integrate them into your family tree or ancestry map for a truly personalized visual experience.
At RootCanvas, we guide you through every step of your genealogy journey. Our team of researchers, historians, and illustrators collaborate to create something truly extraordinary from your family's unique story.
Tell us what you already know — names, places, dates, family stories. Every detail helps our researchers build on what you have.
Our genealogists access thousands of historical databases, local archives, and international records to trace your lineage with precision.
Our illustrators transform raw data into visually stunning maps, trees, and books — tailored to your aesthetic and approved by you before printing.
Your finished artwork arrives packaged with care, ready to frame, display, or share with the whole family at your next gathering.
Every package includes a dedicated researcher, digital files, and free revisions until you love the result.
Real experiences from real families across the United States.
"I gifted my grandmother the Legacy Collection for her 80th birthday. She cried seeing her great-grandparents' origins on that beautiful illustrated map. RootCanvas turned a meaningful idea into the most special gift our family has ever shared."
"The researchers found records I had been searching for on my own for years. Within three weeks I had a stunning custom map showing my family's migration from Eastern Europe to the Midwest. The artwork hangs in my living room and starts every conversation."
"Working with RootCanvas was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. Their team was responsive, the artwork exceeded my expectations, and we discovered family branches none of us knew existed. This is a truly rare and thoughtful service."
