Quick Tips for Using the Forms Organizing your research from the beginning will help eliminate problems and confusion later when you reach the point of information overload from your interviews and research at courthouses and libraries. Fortunately, you don't have to create your own initial plan for organizing your information because there are many standard forms already designed and used by family historians and professional genealogists. The Pedigree Chart Pedigree charts, or lineage charts, are similar to a snapshot of your direct ancestry. Pedigree charts are not designed to record all the known information about a family, but are used as summaries of the information in the family group records. You fill in the Chart No. 1 with yourself as Number 1, your father is Number 2, your mother is Number 3. Using pencil instead of pen allows for easy corrections. The Family Group Record Family group records, or group sheets, are detailed records of one family, including information about a husband, wife and their children. Children on a family group record are listred in order of birth with the eldest child first. Record as much information as possible being sure to record the source of your information. Use as many Notes pages as you need. Research Calendar The Research Calendar is a brief record of your family history research -- what you looked at, when you looked at it, and what you found. It helps you keep track of the clues you've found and their sources. A separate research calendar is created for each person on a lineage chart.
Research Extracts Research extracts are used to record information that cannot be photocopied. When records are restricted from photocopying or when record quality is too poor to reproduce well, you should hand copy all the pertinent information. Specific forms are available for birth/christenings, marriages, and deaths. Contact/Correspondence Logs This form can help you keep track of the inquiry letters you have written as well as interviews and phone calls. You can use the correspondence log to track expenses and to record people you plan to contact. Source Checklist A source checklist can be used as a reminder of the types of records you could search for information and those sources you have already checked. Source checklists are an optional form, but are very useful. Census Abstracts Federal censuses are an excellent source of information on family groups and pioneer families. However, census records should be supplemented with other evidence because of the many errors, especially misspelled names, incorrect ages and birthplaces, in those records. Each year of the census contains different information; for example, only the 1900 census includes a person's month and year of birth. State, local and other enumerations frequently contain information not included in the federal census.
