Yesterday, I arrived in Salt Lake City for the RootsTech conference. I must have had genealogy forms on my mind when I went to sleep because I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about a change I wanted to make to my group sheets!
It’s always bothered me that there was a space for marriage info for the husband AND the wife, basically meaning that there was an unused line on the wife’s side. So last night, it occurred to me that I could use the husband’s side for MILITARY info and the wife’s side for marriage info. I’ve changed my Word and Excel group sheets to reflect this. I also noticed some errors on my Word version, so I fixed those as well. Here are the new forms, if you’re interested.
Blank Family Group Sheet (Word) (updated 3/3/17)
Am just beginning and appreciate your sharing your worksheets. THANK YOU!
Hi Sandy! I’m glad you are finding the forms helpful. Good luck in your research!
I was looking for a Word or Excel template FGS tonight, and found your site. Just have a minor comment about the Military comment referenced in your post. Not all Veterans are men, and sometimes, both spouses are veterans.
Ashleigh, USN veteran 🙂
(but not married to a veteran)
Yes, I know that is true. Luckily, since the group sheet is a word doc, you can customize it to fit the needs of each family.
