Genealogy Frame
Double frames are an excellent way to display your ancestors. Many people use double frames to display both sides of a family. For instance, displaying both sets of parents, grandparents or great-grandparents is a great way to show family lineage. You can also pair your grandmother’s childhood picture with a picture of her as an adult. There are many ideas for displaying your ancestors. You are limited only by your imagination.

There are countless benefits to double picture frames because of their versatility and space efficiency. If you only have a small space in which to display your photos, a double frame will take up less room than a single frame with an easel back stand. Double frames can also be hung on a wall and fit into an area where two pictures would not.

For double frames with hinges, they are much easier to store because they can be folded up for easy storage. Another benefit of hinged frames is that they are self standing so they can be displayed in narrow spaces like mantles or bookshelves. With so many uses and benefits, it’s easy to see why double frames are so popular.
