The person asking about forms didn't say whether he wanted computerized
forms or printed forms. There are many sources for printed forms. The
Mormons have a set of official forms. Everton Publishers, Box 368,
Logan, Utah sells such forms. I have three computerized forms I use;
a horizontal format family group sheet, a vertical format family group
sheet, and a horizontal format pedigree sheet. I will post these three
to this newsgroup. I simply use an editor to fill them in. It isn't
state of the art methodology, but it is very transportable. I use a
letter quality printer for the vertical family group sheet. For the
horizontal format charts I use either a line printer or, when I can
find one, a laser printer in horizontal mode (neat). In the notes
section of the family group sheets I copy all the sources for the
information that is contained in the sheet. By that I mean that, for
example, if I have a death certificate for a person, I copy all the
information from it into the notes section. I find that having all the
information on a person (that is pertinent to researching that person) in
one place greatly facilitates my research. Also, other people looking at
one of my sheets knows where I got all my information, where I was guessing
and where I was certain.
