Private Trust Company vs Family Office

I was just wondering if anyone has any insight on the differences between a Private Trust Company and a Family Office. I tried searching it but anything with the word "Private" is a pain to find on the WSO search.

Please let me know if you guys have seen the difference or not first hand.
