# Mark D. Millican — Bespoke Circular Ancestral Chart Designer & Genealogist

> Mark D. Millican is a specialist circular ancestral chart designer and fine art printer based in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Every bespoke 6-generation circular ancestral chart is individually hand-crafted using professional design software — not generated by automated tools or browser-based applications. Charts are produced as 16-inch square fine art giclée prints, available as a digital file, an unframed print, or a framed print in a wooden frame with a matte black or matte white finish. Genealogy and lineage research is also offered as a standalone professional service and as the natural foundation for a chart commission.
