Tracing your family history can be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding of hobbies. It can also be time consuming and involves large amounts of data that you need to collect. The problem of recording the results of your research will soon become an issue unless you organise your research from the very beginning.

Knowing what information to collect and how best to organise it is vitally important so that it is easily retrievable and records your family history in a clear and concise way. We have developed a range of forms that let you do just that by providing you with an effective fully cross referenced genealogy records and research management system.

Even if you are using a computer based family tree program you will still need a way to record the information on your visits to archives and records offices. These forms provide an ideal way of doing just that.

The forms are in printable pdf format at A4 size and are designed for filing in A4 size folders and binders.

This Research Forms CD includes instructions and gives you everything you need to start recording your family history.

Family History Research Forms

The Personal Record
The Personal Record form is used for recording all of the proven known facts about an individual and gives an overview of their life.

The Family Group Record
Family Group Records are detailed records of one family and include the main information about a husband and wife, their parent’s names and the main details of all of their children.

The Research Log
The Research Log is a record of your family history research - what you looked at, when you looked at it and what you found. It helps you keep track of the information you've found and the sources of that information. A separate research log is created for each person.

Ancestral Pedigree Chart
Pedigree Charts allow you to record a graphical snapshot of three generations of an individual’s ancestors.
You fill in the chart starting with the root individual and their siblings in the left hand boxes and their father and mother in the next column. grandparents are recorded in the next column and great grandparents in the last column. If the root person has more than 8 siblings then create a second chart for the additional siblings (the parents, grandparents and great grandparents will be the same as on the first chart). You do not need to create a separate pedigree chart for the root or siblings when they do not have children or a spouse/partner. You can create a series of cross referenced charts to show everyone that you have researched and an individual may well appear on more than one chart.

Census Records
In most cases where you have access to the original census image you will be able to obtain a copy either as a photocopy or, via the internet, as a downloadable image file. There will however be occasions when you cannot copy the original census page. This CD includes census working sheets for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 & 1911 England & Wales Census.
