How do you do this Family History thing?

Thinking in terms of a timeline will calm your brain and keep you from squirlling!

  Sometimes if you aren't focused, your mind can float on all this data and you get lost.

You may know exactly what to do but start with the basics - just the left column has, who you are looking for and her parents and who she married.

This is her mother's basic information - remember women keep their maiden name in genealogy to keep the lines straight, but they die with their married name.  So in the final search for an OBIT or headstone, take out the maiden name and input the married name for a pure search.  You will get faster results.

 I thought you might like to have a couple of blank forms to play with so here are a couple of jpgs that will print out as an 8.5x11 and a link to a pdf with the sample data and blank fields to enter your data.  Let me know if this is helpful.
