These charts show the direct ancestors, such as parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. They may be found in 3-generations, 4-generations, 5-generations...up to 15-generations plus. They may be presented in several ways. Most include the person's name, birth date, birth place, marriage date, death date, and place of death. Many forms also include a line for place of marriage.

Where the pedigree chart focuses on the direct lineage, the family group sheet is completed for each family unit. It includes the father, mother, and all the children. Children should be listed from the oldest to the youngest.
Family group sheets provide fields for the name, birth date and place, marriage date and place, death date and place, and burial date and place. In addition, the family group sheet provides space to include occupation, military service, church affiliation, multiple marriages, and parents' names.
