Free family tree charts, forms and genealogy templates
Once
you get started in genealogy you will quickly find you need
a way to help keep track of all your information. The easiest
way I have found is to use family tree charts and research
checklists. I like to use printable charts and forms in family
notebooks so I can spread out on the table and see what I
have learned and figure out what I need to research next.
This way it is easy make notes and take a complete family
notebook when going to the genealogy library. A family notebook
also makes a nice present for a family member. You can print
out the family forms you need and include pictures, poems,
etc.. for a memorable gift!
Family
Research Note Keeping:
What
I do is to keep a separate notebook for each family name.
In each one I will put a research check list form to keep
track of what types of research I have done for each family
ancestor. I will also have a list of who I have written and
what for - such as courthouses, churches, funeral homes, family
members, etc.. Included in my notebooks are family group sheets,
pedigree charts, clear sleeves for documents, pockets for
printed information and blank paper for notes.
