~U~BIntroduction~b~u
This book is divided into three main sections. The first gives
genealogical data about members of the family, the second sec-
tion provides family group sheets for all family groups that
include at least one child, and the third section consists of
biographical sketches of each family member which chronologi-
cally tell the story of the family.
Each person is identified by a unique number. This number is
used to distinguish between family members that may have the
same name.
The vital statistics about each person appear in Sections 1 and
2. Included here will be the dates of birth and death, the
places of those events and the dates and places for marriages,
as well as information about the person's spouse(s) and
children.
The family trees, with up to four generations of ancestors and
descendants of each person, are also included in section 1.
These trees could be combined to form a complete family geneal-
ogy that could (theoretically) extend forever!
The biographies are freeform in nature and serve to establish
more background about the individual than could be provided by
pure statistics.
Located in the appendices in the back is information that is
useful for extending the family history.
~UAppendix A~u summarizes all of the names that appear in the
book along with their reference numbers.
~UAppendix B~u lists information that should have been included
but is presently unknown. By researching further it may be pos-
sible to fill in the missing data and extend the genealogy even
farther.
~UAppendix C~u will provide a sorted list of miscellaneous in-
formation including causes of death, occupations, and church
affiliations.
~UAppendix D~u prints a family "time line" listing the dates of
birth, death and marriages for the entire family in chronologi-
cal order.
