Family group sheets are often considered the meat-and-potatoes of genealogical
forms: they are a standardized representation of a family with information
about parents, children, and grandparents all on one page. Family group
sheets include birth, death, and marriage event dates and locations,
and their respective sources.
This CD contains the well known Everton's collection of over
23,000 family group sheets (more than 478,000 individuals!) featuring
locations as diverse as the U.S., Denmark, Canada, England, Germany,
Netherlands, Norway, Prussia, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland.
The dates listed on the family group sheets range from the 1400s
to the present.
You'll not only find a fully searchable index, but the actual
images of the family group sheets! If that doesn't sound exciting
to you, consider this...most of the family group sheets have submitter's
names and addresses included. All of the sheets give the date
when the information was submitted as well.
You can search for a surname, event, year, location, and group
sheet number as well. You may use wild cards to facilitate your
search, and the index includes all of the individuals mentioned
on a family group sheet.
As with other Genealogy.com image CDs, the images here allow
you to make the decision as to what information is presented;
although all of the images are very clear, the quality of handwriting
varies. Image CDs are useful to researchers because they allow
you to determine what information is represented in the scanned
image and not rely on someone else's interpretation.
