The forms listed below will help you get started in organizing your genealogy
and the research process.
They are not the standard pedigree charts & family group sheets.
These forms are extremely valuable for organizing your research.
I saved these forms in Rich Text Format. This
format should be readable by just about any word processing program. Until
I get a copy of Adobe® Acrobat This is the best I can do. The files may
need a little tweaking in your word processor. The
files are contained in a single download named forms.zip. If needed, you
can download a copy of WinZip™ from this site: http://www.winzip.com.

I wanted to thank you for offering your
forms for free download. I also want
to let you know that I
use a Mac, and had no trouble downloading them and opening the zipped
archive with Stuffit Expander, and opening the documents with Word.
I thought you might want to mention on your
page that your downloads are cross-platform, and that Mac users can
download and use either Stuffit Expander or ZipIt to unzip the archive.
Many Mac users aren't aware that they can use ".zip" files, so
you would be doing a lot of people an even better service!
I was also able to open the documents with ClarisWorks,
which is often the word processor Mac users have pre-installed on their
computers.
Thanks again, and especially for making it
cross-platform.

A bit different than the research log. It helps me track where I've
been and what I've been doing for the entire project. It also keeps
track of time spent at repositories in order to qualify for the 1000
hours of research time necessary to achieve accreditation through the Family
History Library accreditation program. |
