Roots: The "Vine and Hearts" Family Registers In the mid-eighteenth century family members created illustrated registers to commemorate a marriage, record a child's birth or to memorialize a recent death. Registers typically appear as watercolor paintings with the names of the couple celebrated and the date of their marriage are shown in twin hearts planted in a mound of earth, while the names and dates of their offspring adorn the buds and leaves shooting out from the vines above. |
