Source Citation Form
Your Source Citation form is very important. If you went to school and had to write a paper, you may remember having to include references to the sources of your information. This is exactly the same when you are trying to document your family tree/genealogy.
In fact, it might be even more important than trying to get a good grade from your teacher because you want to pass down correct informaitn to your decendants! It doesn't have to be MLA or APA format...but you do want to be as complete as possible.
A source is the record where you got your information. The citation is the link that connects the source to your family record. A source citation form will help keep you organized and allow family members to follow exactly what you did in the future.
Some of the pieced of information that you want to collect are the name of the Individual, the source document, the date of the source documne, the author, and any publication information that is available. We recommend even stapling this to the copy of the actual source, if possible.

About Free Genealogy Forms & Charts
We are extreme genealogy enthusiasts and in mid-2007, we were looking for genealogy forms on the Internet. At the time, there was one other site out there with anything decent, The Bailey's Free Genealogy Forms. They are still there and last time we checked, they even had new ones. We definitely suggest you check them out.
We believe that free genealogy forms & charts will help you save time and effort in your genealogy research and definitely help keep you organized. Plus, there is just something about having paper copies to whip out and bore the kids and company with.
So, after four years of trying to corner the lucrative market of genealogy forms, we decided to give ours away for free. We felt the diffentiation would be that we were selling the Excel and Visio files so that anyone could customize their forms and not just have the PDF files.
Very few people felt that was worth paying money for but we would like to thank the handful of you that actually plunked down your hard-earned cash for the forms. The tens of cents earned went to paying for the hosting of this site.
