I am looking for a descendent chart (5 generation). thank you
Thank you so much for all of the resources that you have in one place. I know that it was very time consuming putting together this index. Thanks so much for sharing and helping me along in my journey! Godspeed. T. Daniel
May God bless you for meeting the challenges that confront you, and for the example you set in contributing to others. However, I don’t know how you make the time. If there is an award for time management you would win hands down. You’re an inspiration, thank you!
I’m not sure about me earning anything for my time management, George, but thank you for the vote of confidence and encouragement! I am a homeschooling mom of a teenage boy with a high functioning form of Autism (Asperger’s) and I constantly feel like I am running behind. I’m just grateful that so many others have found this list so helpful. I hope to find many more ways to help out my fellow amateur genealogists in the near future. God bless you too, George.

Did you charge me $19.99 for downloading or using the 5 generation ancestor chart? It was an adobe file. I got a $19.99 charge from Adobe on August 30, 2017.
Absolutely NOT! IF this is a legit comment and not spam…. I have absolutely no way of charging anyone much less would I. If you followed a link and then purchased something, then that is who you need to contact. There should be some kind of phone number and other information on your statement. Call them and/or your bank and tell them you dispute it and they should take it off for you.
Wow! Thank you so much! I found your site because I was trying to find some sort of forms to use to document my searches and such. I have been to about 10 different sites today, then stumbled on your site. Oh happy end to my day! Thank you for putting all this together. As a newbie this really helps.
