The following pages provide  information  pertaining  to  each  family
group  that includes at least one child. The pages are listed in alphabeti-
cal order by the husband's last name because, in most cases,  that  is  the
name used by all members of the family group.

       These records follow a format that has been used by genealogists for
many years and serve as a common research document that  is  in  widespread
usage.  Because  the family groups are defined as those having at least one
child, and, in some cases, the marriage records  may  be  unavailable,  the
headings  "husband"  and "wife" should actually read "father" and "mother".
There are also some entries in the forms that do  not  apply  to  everyone,
such as date of death for individuals that are still living.
