FAMILY GROUP SHEETS

The more you know about each generation, including brothers, sisters, and in-laws, the easier it will be to find the members of earlier generations. The number, spacing, and naming of children can tell quite a bit about the lives and lifestyle of our ancestors. The succession of birthplaces of children and death dates of close family members can help locate the family in particular time periods.

Entering the Husband's Information

The top line is for the husband or father. Several spaces are given to record the date and place of his birth, marriage, death, and sometimes burial. Also included are spaces for the names of both of his parents.

Entering the Wife's Information

Following this, the information is requested for his wife, or whoever is mother of his children. There are spaces to indicate if either party was married to anyone else during his or her lifetime.

Remember -- women are always recorded with their maiden name, and surnames are recorded in ALL CAPITALS.

Adding Children to Family Group Sheets

Under the husband/wife information, space is provided to record information on all natural children of that particular marriage or union. Occasionally, you may come across adopted children - this should be noted as such, because genealogy is really a search for genetic lineage, and the adopted child has one or both parents different from the family into which he or she has been adopted. If an adopted child's natural parents are known, a separate Family Group Sheet should be made to indicate who they are, and it should be noted on that separate Family Group Sheet the name of the family that the child was adopted by, and the date of adoption or date the went to live with the new family if known. The children of a marriage should be listed in order of birth if known. Once again, the surname should appear in all CAPITAL LETTERS.

Extras on Family Group Sheets

Since Family Group Sheets are the basic record forms for your family, you may want to add other information to help identify this family.

Others details you may wish to include are:

occupation of the husband and others

relationship to yourself or other close family members

Don't Forget to Cite Sources for Your Information

The MOST important extra information is the source itself. This is very important so that the information recorded is traceable to its origin. The more accurate the original source, the more accurate will be the information recorded so it is a good idea to know where the data came from. Please! Do NOT include any information on living family members!

Submitting your Hyde Co. Family Group Sheets
