What do you do when you get bitten by the GENEALOGY BUG?

Check out our FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) page.

If you are a beginner, you will need a blank Family Group Sheet, click here. Use your browser's Back button to return to this page.

Here is one example of a Five-generation Ancestry Chart; click here. Use your browser's Back button to return to this page.
(Note: If you don't see these charts, it may be because your browser just won't display them. If you have Microsoft Word®, you could try opening the files "family.doc" or "ancestor.doc" or you may want to change your browser (see the recommendations on the Home page), but failing that, you can go to the website for Family Tree Magazine, whose URL is given below.) (If you don't have access to the internet, you may write Everton Publishers, P.O. Box 368, Logan, UT 84323-0368; another source is Misbach Enterprises at 859 E. 1170 N., Orem, UT 84097)

P.S. Some browsers will let you print the charts, above. Try it, but be sure to choose Landscape for the Ancestry Chart.

Make sure you are online before clicking on the URLs below.

To get your own copies of the charts, above, and more, go to Family Tree Magazine's web site at http://www.familytreemagazine.com/forms/download.html
