The USGS site is fantastic for gathering
GPS Coordinates and satelite maps on specific locations.
For example:
| Feature
Name: |
Cemetery |
| State
or Territory: |
Arkansas |
| County: |
Crawford |
Click "Send Query". When the results table appears,
click the column header "Feature Name". This
will sort the results alphabetically. Now click "View
and Print All" on the bottom left
(no this will not send the data to your printer... They're
just being tricky!) And finally,
click "Alexander Cemetery". On the far right
of Alexander's Feature Detail Report, there is a small
table entitled, "Mapping Services".
The two best maps for Crawford County, Arkansas are "GNIS
in Google Map" and "MapQuest". Both have
very, very minor drawbacks, however when working in conjunction,
they're the best. Google is just Google (now and then,
a small street isn't drawn in), and MapQuest has just
outdone themselves on providing labels to the historic
/ very small communities (once in a while, a small street
isn't labeled). |

Final Rolls of the Five Civilized
Tribes
The Dawes Rolls, also known as the "Final Rolls,"
are lists of individuals who were accepted as eligible
for tribal membership in the Five Civilized Tribes - Cherokee,
Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole. Those tribe members
whose applications were accepted were entitled to an allotment
of land, usually as a homestead, in return for abolishing
their tribal governments and recognizing Federal laws.
Time Period: 1898-1914 (primarily
1899-1906)

Family
Tree / Ancestral Chart
|
Four-generation Ancestral Chart-A family tree chart
records the ancestors from whom you directly descend--those
for whom you intend to compile a complete and correct
family unit. It shows at a glance the progress you have
made towards this goal and what remains to be done. |
Research
Calendar
|
The research calendar gives an account of every family
tree source you have searched and serves as a reminder
of what you have already done and where you have found
pertinent information. |
Family
Tree Research Extract
|
Use the research extract sheets to summarize family
tree information which cannot be photocopied, for which
there is no document in your possession, or for things
such as deeds which may be time-consuming or difficult
to reread quickly when you need information from the copy
you have. |
Cemetery Records
- pg. 1
|
Sheets for keeping track of cemeteries. These sheets
are useful for people who wish to keep track of information
in graveyards or sexton's records. Invaluable for Family
Gravesite Plot records.
• A first
page. This allows one to map a cemetery and has room for
cemetery contact information, as well as room for two
gravestone entries. |
Cemetery Records
- pg. 2
|
Sheets for keeping track of cemeteries. These sheets
are useful for people who wish to keep track of information
in graveyards or sexton's records. Invaluable for Family
Gravesite Plot records.
• Second
page. This sheet has a smaller map (perhaps a portion
of the map on the first page), and room for six gravestones
enscriptions. |
Correspondence
Record
|
When making a family tree it is important to keep track
of those with whom you have corresponded, the reasons
for writing, and whether or not you have already received
an answer. |
Correspondence
Record II
|
A correspondence log sheet. This sheet looks similar
to the research log, but keeps track of letters you've
sent to others for information. The document number refers
to letters and responses you've sent out. You may not
use this much, but it'll be invaluable when you do, especially
for keeping track of foreign correspondence. |
Family
Group Sheet
|
Each piece of information concerning a family tree
member and his/her family is placed on a worksheet. Since
the end result of your research efforts will be to compile
complete, correct and connected families, the use of family
group sheets from the beginning will make the compilation
much easier. |
Family Record
Sheet
|
This sheet was the main source for tracking family data
before software came along. Too many people have gone
away from hard-copies. Great genealogy requires that hard-copy
records are still kept. This sheet features references
for each piece of information. Take your hard-copy files
or folders along when you go to the library, genealogy
society meetings, cemetery photo journaling, etc. |
Pedigree Chart
|
This is a cross from a version found in Reunion and
a chart from the LDS. Its main feature is that it's simple.
|
Pedigree Fan Chart
|
EIGHT Generational Fan Chart

one. |
