User:Klmmc/Ancestral Individual Worksheet

Watchers

Directions for Use: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm notorious for leaving things out, filing them in the wrong places, etc. This is my effort to help me remember to "fill in the blanks" in collection, documentation, verification, of information.

This is designed to assist in collecting all necessary information on any person. Assign an individual identifier to each person as you "work them up". Assign family group numbers as you go. Keep a list/index of both individuals and family groups with the chart numbers assigned for easy reference and recall.

For the Marriage/spouse, Military service, and children sections, copy and repeat as often as necessary. Some of my relatives have two distinct periods of military service (WWII and Korea for example), two or three wives, and children by each marriage.

Note on the children: for each adult list ALL their children, in order of birth, no matter who the other parent is. There is a line to enter name and identifiers of second parent. If the child is adopted, note it as such, and enter birth parents information, if known. For children of the "Orphan Trains", or other such means of children entering families not of their birth, make a short note on this page referencing to individual chart for that orphan.

Please feel free to make any comments, suggestions for additions or changes, or ask any questions that come to mind. I welcome all assistance to make this as user-friendly and COMPLETE as is possible.
