This book is divided into three main sections. The first gives genealogical
data about members of the family, the second section 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
chronologically tell the story of the family.
Each person is identified by a unique number. This number is used to dis-
tinguish 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 com-
bined to form a complete family genealogy that could (theoretically) extend
forever!
The biographies are freeform in nature and serve to establish more back-
ground 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 possible to fill in the
missing data and extend the genealogy even farther.
~UAppendix C~u will provide a sorted list of miscellaneous information in-
cluding 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 chronological order.
