Fill in the blank PDF versions of Church History Forms

I find that having these have boosted my efficiency in record keeping and collaboration with my family being able to email copies of these to family members.

How to save them? You can download a freeware program called PDFill 7.0 and as long as you stay within the pdfill file system you can fill in and save them as .pdfill. Or you can purchase the program for a small price and export the filled out files to .pdf and email them to your family members. I have been able email out completed forms to my family and they have emailed me back with corrections or additions.

I started by emailing them the blank forms and having them fill them out print them up and snail mail them back to me. Most of my family was excited to do this as it was quick and fast. I followed up with them regularly like a Missionary.

Now I send out a Monthly update to them all with changes I have found or additions and we all collectively have a Book of Rememberace for our entire family extending outwards several generations and forward with new births to our huge family.

We are spread out across the world and believe me this was the most important thing I've done to get this information collected.

Please remember that you should have a paper copy somewhere.

I am including the original 1993 Versions and I am still working on the 2006 forms that were introduced in the new Family History Sunday School Class.

As promised I just finished these today the new 2010 versions as I call them. I hope you find them usefull in doing your Family History.

Brilliant. I'm already using them.

As promised though later than I had expected I have finished the rest of the fill in the blank pdf forms for Family history
The 2010 Pedigree Chart (This includes a box to add FGR numbers to each individual)
and I did the Research log. This is personal for me as my handwritting is horrific to discern and if someone were to pick up after me I would like them to know where I have been.

I hope you enjoy these and my the Spirit of Elijah continue to help us seek our ancestors and allow us the oppurtunity to free them.

It appears as though these forms can be printed but not saved. If you want them to be saveable also, let me know.

If they could be made saveable within the pdf file structure that would help the world out tremendously.

Attached are the above forms, but they are now saveable.

Attached are PDF forms previously submitted by subrodragon above. They can now be saved from Reader 9.

Hope this helps, and thank you for the previous work done.

Thanks a million for making them saveable.

Great job and thanks

I have a copy of the Family group Sheet and the pedigree chart in Spanish

Who can translate these and make them fillable

I can make them fillable this week however I can't make them save-able but one step at a time at least.
In terms of translating they are in english up above if you need another language perhaps another member can translate them into other languages.

can someone help me to have the pedigree chart in spanish please????

thank you

I've been working on this excel version of the pedigree chart. I like it because I can continually expand it and hyperlink the continued pages. I might eventually add family group records to it, let me know what you think and if there is anything else I should do to it or if I'm wasting my time and there is a better way. I think it works great if you know a little about excel.

The .xls file is for Excel 97-2003

What is the purpose of these charts? It looks like it generates a nice-looking set of blank charts, but it doesn't seem like it is designed to have data filled in to it.

There are any number of genealogy products out there (PAF and some other free applications, and a host of reasonably priced applications) that will print cascading pedigree charts, and will fill in your data as well. And they can print blank forms if that's what you need.

I wouldn't necessarily say you're wasting your time, but since there are so many free ways to accomplish essentially the same result, I'm wondering if there might be a better use of your time in some other area.

I am having trouble acquiring this email user form and very much want it. Why can't I get it from this site?

When I send these files some families are able to open them and some are not. Some files open but but are not saveable. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Which files are you using? The ones in post #12 are Excel files. If the families don't have Excel or a compatible program, they can't use it.

Similar to the research log PDF you've created, this is a website for tracking your family history research log online: http://deadeasyfamilyhistory.org. In addition to being a publicly accessible research log, it can also make tips based on other users research logs.

Do you have any Legal size fillable charts? I would love a fillable legal size Pedigree chart and fillable legal size family group sheet.

Exactly what I need .. Thank you for all the computer work.

Hi! Love this form, prints great, but I cannot get it to save! What am I doing wrong?

is @subrodragon-p40 still active in this forum?

I would like to make contact offline to discuss using these fillable forms in automation. So I'd like to get permission and, since more than a decade has passed, confirm the automation is built using the most current versions of those forms.

Not likely. The last post was in Oct 2010.

Hi, Thank you for making the family group sheets and pedigree charts available. Is there any way I can get a family group sheet that does not have the ordinance sections on it. there used to be a way to turn off the ordinance section so that you could present the chart to non-members but still get their family information to put into the computer. I cannot seem to find any now.
Thank you

Yes, you can do this. Log in to FamilySearch and then click on your name in the upper right corner. Click on "Settings." Click on the "Account" tab and scroll down to "Show Temple Options" - click the button to turn that off. This will hide all temple information on screen and on printed reports - the selection will stick until you turn it back on again.
