I drew the tree up from a picture, added a few branches to fit the names per family on a branch. I stem-stitched the names onto the 'leaves' first, light for female, dark for male. Buttonholed stitched the tree to the background, then buttonholed stitched each leaf in place on the branches.
I actually enjoyed doing the family tree and the recipient's family is thrilled with it so I have achieved what they wanted
