Description
Have you ever wanted to see your ancestor’s whole life sketch? Or do you want to easily write out your ancestor’s life to see where your research gaps are?
This timeline is an easy and fun way for you to quickly see your ancestor’s life. It will also show you the gaps in your research that will help focus your time and energy. It’s a workable PDF that you can use directly on your computer. Type in the dates, places, and events to narrow your search for those missing records. See where that record will most likely be by seeing where your ancestor lived before and after that time.
To use it on your computer, just download it as a master copy. Then when starting a new research project, make a copy of it for each new ancestor that you’re working with. Save that specific copy to your ancestor’s folder. Now you have a timeline for that ancestor. Or you can use it as a general guideline for all of your ancestors. You can also print it out and use it that way.
Use it anytime you need to organize dates and places for that ancestor. Also use it by adding historical events to your ancestor’s timeline. This fun tool can be a great benefit in your research!
