Yep!

Another thing I have seen is a quilt.. a lovely large tree, drawn or 
embroidered freehand, not sure which; on each leaf was a name of a family 
member.  The families were connected together by wavy lines and the leaves 
were a brighter green for those alive when the quilt was made.  Really pretty 
too!  It was an original design, no pattern given, and it appeared in (I 
think) Quilter's Newsletter Magazine sometme within the last year or so. 
Calligraphy is handy too for genealogists.. for embellishing a chart and also 
for trying to figure out old writing samples.  Photography is way useful too. 
 My family tree doesn't go far enough back to require archaelogy.  ;)
