Genealogy How-to Series

Week 1: What You Need to Start

  • Ancestor chart
  • Family group sheets
  • Sharpened pencils
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Good eraser
  • Highlighter
  • Sticky notes
  • Paper
  • External storage device
  • Notebook/3-ring binder

Week 2: Ancestor Charts and Family Group Sheets

  • Ancestor Chart
    • Comes in 3, 4, 5, 8+ generations
    • Provides biological lineage
    • Start with yourself as Number 1
    • Top part is for the paternal lineage; bottom part is for the maternal lineage
    • Even numbers on traditional ancestor charts are for males and odd numbers are for females
  • Family Group Sheet
    • Shows a family unit, including Father, Mother, and Children
    • All children born to the father and mother should be shown. List from the oldest to the youngest child.
    • Has an area to expand on the known information -- such as occupation, military, religion.
  • Use all uppercase for SURNAMES. This helps to distinguish a surname from a middle name. It is not uncommon for surnames from previous generations to be used as middle names for more recent generations.
    • Example: Joseph Arnold vs. Joseph ARNOLD
  • Genealogy dates should be written in a dd-mmm-yyyy format.
    • Example: 06-11-20
      • Is this June 11, 1920?
      • Is this November 6, 1820?
      • Preferable format is 11 Jun 1920.
