How To Get Started

The purpose of having one person create a French chart of a particular line is to have ÒoneÓ complete fully-documented file of a particular French branch. Many files online are incomplete, undocumented, and lead off in other family directions. The main focus of a chart is to document the surname French. HereÕs how to get started:

á      You can use a gedcom genealogical software package, such as Family Tree Maker for the PC or Reunion for the Mac. If not, just use Microsoft Word or another word-processing software package that can be linked to the FFA website. ThatÕs what I do.

á      Anyone can volunteer to be responsible for a French chart. Kindly put the Chart Number in the Subject Line of all email.

á      List as many French males of a particular line (collateral lines) as youÕre able to research, not just one French male line, but all male siblings.

á      Document all sources. No guessing.

á      Use Òca.Ó for estimates, i.e., born ca. 1790.

á      Upload file (preferably GEDCOM format) online, preferably to http://www.rootsweb.com/
or http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/

á      Contact Mara French with the URL. I will send you all the information/data that I have on your line for you to add.
