The Church of JesusChrist of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) has always placed a great deal of emphasison knowing who your ancestors are. They had a program in placefor a long time ( I have no idea how long.) where their members were supposedto submit their 4 or 5 generations of family group sheets. Linkspivot stickfigure animator. The book of rollsrejected scriptures king james version. Some membersdid a lot more than that. Some took books like the one by EdmundDana Barbour and compiled them onto family group sheets. (I'm surethat some of the research came from Orange Chapin's Genealogy Book.) These very old family group sheets only had about a 1 inch square for documentingsources so the sources are rather cryptic and don't always make much sense. The newer ones had about a one-inch strip at the bottom of the legal-sizedsheets.
These family groupsheets are arranged alphabetically. They are easy to read for themost part and best of all, they were linked! Where one of the parentshad an asterisk * or star, it meant they appeared as a child with theirparents on another group sheet. I followed countless families back. If the children had an asterisk * then that meant that the child appearedas a parent with their spouse on another family group sheet. I didn'tcollect as many collateral lines as a I could have. I wish now thatI had done more of these. I do have photocopies of most of the familygroup sheets and if you want me to look up the sheet to see whether ornot there is a family group for your member of a family, I can do that--aslong as the source or notes say that I got it from a FGR (family grouprecord) in the FHL.
When I was new at documenting,I just put the FHL library film number of the microfilm in the notes ofmy computer program. There was more written on the sheets, but facedwith the monumental tasks of entering thousands into the computer, I chosenot to do it. I wish now that I had. The program that I firstused, PAF or Personal Ancestral File put out by the LDS Church, only hada NOTES section to put documentation in. There weren't any sourcefiles at all until this most recent version of PAF. You'll noticethat most of my documentation is in these note files rather than in sourcefiles. At some point I'll get them all converted, but I don'tthink it will be anytime soon.
If you are LDS andwant Ordinance information I can send you gedcoms with it on there. At any rate, I do have more documentation on some of these families. At some point I plan to go back and redo the notes to be sources and I'llhave the original source information from the family group sheets in thenew source files.
