What a privilege this last 20 years has been. When we started Family ChartMasters we had no idea the love and sweat and tears that we would invest. But we especially didn't know how much we would adore the people we would get to spend this period of our lives with. It has been my joy to help you share your family history, honor your ancestors and inspire the next generations in your family. Thank you for everything. What a tremendous ride it has been.
I'm now going to go work on my own family history. I'm going to preserve Kim's history. I'm going to create a new family with a wedding to Dean Olsen in June. And I'm going to absolutely love having the time to be a genealogist myself. So much love to you all. I'll see you at a genealogy conference soon. I'll be there in the audience with you.
Family ChartMasters Announces New Ownership to Preserve and Display Family History Legacies
4 Apr 2024 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Pleasant Grove, Utah] — Family ChartMasters, the leader in custom genealogy chart design and printing, is excited to announce a new chapter in its history. Crista Cowan, known online as The Barefoot Genealogist, has acquired the company from Janet Hovorka, continuing and expanding the vision of making family history more visible and cherished in homes around the world.
Founded by Janet and Kim Hovorka more than 20 years ago, Family ChartMasters has become synonymous with high-quality, personalized genealogy charts, helping thousands of families create conversation pieces showcasing the family history they have uncovered. Following the passing of co-founder Kim Hovorka in 2021, Janet continued on with their team, but Kim was such an important part of Family Chartmasters that it was difficult to go forward without him. Fortunately, Crista's passion for genealogy and commitment to the company's values and mission have paved the way for a promising future.
Janet expressed her gratitude and optimism, stating, "It's with a heart full of optimism that I pass the torch to Crista. Knowing her dedication to family history and her vision for Family ChartMasters, I am confident she will continue our legacy of preserving family stories with the same love and care we've poured into this company."
Under Crista's leadership, Family ChartMasters will continue to offer a range of family tree printing and design services. Blank charts, to be manually filled in, are a great way to get started. Set style charts allow digital family tree data to quickly be imported for printing. Working charts are a favorite for displaying the family tree at the next reunion. The signature custom designed chart service offers an opportunity to work with a designer to create archival quality heirloom pieces that engage all generations.
Crista Cowan shared her enthusiasm in taking on this new role, "I am deeply honored to continue the legacy that Janet and Kim built. Their work has touched so many lives, including my own. I'm committed to maintaining and enhancing the services we provide. My goal is to see a family tree on the wall of every home, providing a visual representation of the stories that live in us and the bonds that connect us."
