| Start With Yourself You probably already know a lot of facts about yourself and other close family members. Your first step should be to record this information. Use the three basic forms described below to record what you already know. Ancestral Chart The Ancestral Chart shows an overall view of your whole ancestry. The chart has blank spaces to add four or five generations of ancestors from whom the person at the top of the chart is directly descended. When you are working with more distant relations, this helps to understand where each person fits into your family tree. The "Family Tree Lab" program program uses the information you entered to create a neatly printed ancestral chart that shows four generations of ancestors from whom the person is directly descended. Click here to print Ancestral Chart form. Family Group Record The Family Group Record is a detailed record of one family. It has blank spaces to add the parents, grandparents, and children for the family, and the most important dates and details for each person. Each family on the Ancestral Chart should have a corresponding Family Group Record. The "Family Tree Lab" computer program uses the information you entered to create a neatly printed Family Group filled in form for each family you select. Click here to print Family Group form. Personal Record The Personal Record is a detailed record of just one person. Use it to record extensive information for each person. It has blank spaces to add the parents, spouses and children and the most important dates and details.
