My wife [Mary (Hagstrom) Bailey] and I [Duane A. Bailey] are amateur
genealogists studying Baileys entering New England around 1650, and
Hagstroms entering in 1850. We've received lots of help from our
genealogist friends: thanks!
We have constructed the following forms we use in our own genealogy research.
Please feel free to download, view, and print these forms using Adobe's Acrobat Reader. (If you don't have it, )
In return, why not send us a short message indicating who you're
researching? We love hearing from all of you, and your searches
around the world.
A family record sheet. This
sheet is what we use to keep track of family data. It
features references for each piece of information.
A pedigree chart. This is a
cross from a version found in Reunion and a chart from the LDS. Its
main feature is that it's simple.
A pedigree fan chart. This is a
request from our genealogy friends. Holds 8 generations (255 people)! It's
also simple.
NEW! A general
family relationships chart. This is "family graph paper". Names
of family members or couples are written in boxes. Optional lines
highlight the relationships. Use with generations going down or
across. (We'll soon provide examples.)
Several different forms of timeline. These forms allow you to
chart out family history events during an arbitrary time period.
Sheets for keeping track of cemeteries. These sheets are useful for
people who wish to keep track of information in graveyards or sexton's records.
A first page. This allows one to map
a cemetery and has room for cemetery contact information, as well as room for
two gravestone entries.
And following pages. Has a smaller map (perhaps a portion of the map on the first page), and room for six gravestones enscriptions.
A research log sheet. This
sheet is fairly standard. It keeps track of research you're
performing on an individual in a particular locality. (We've done a
lot of work with westward-moving pioneers. This research is problematic,
but these forms are the best approach we can think of.)
A correspondence log
sheet. This sheet looks similar to the research log, but keeps track
of letters you've sent to others for information. The document number
refers to letters and responses you've sent out. We've not used this
much, but it's invaluable for keeping track of, say, foreign
correspondence.
We hope you find these sheets useful. If you have comments or
suggested changes please send us a message.
