Printable Family History Chart.......FamilyHistoryChart.pdf
Dear
Friends,
The
Mt. Savage Historical Society is endeavoring to establish a quality genealogy library and
research center.
We
have had many inquiries from people who are researching their family trees and
have
a lot of information that we are currently archiving and we feel that this info would
benefit the people
who
are trying to trace their family history. We
also, first and foremost, want to record and preserve this
valuable
family information for generations to come. We
fear, that if it isn't gathered and preserved now,
it
may be lost for all time.
We
are asking members and friends of the Historical Society to help us retrieve this
information. If
everyone
will submit their personal family tree, it will add greatly to the records for the
Enclosed,
you will find pedigree charts (family trees); each husband and wife household would fill
out
a
pedigree chart for their father and mother's line.
If
you wish, you may omit dates for any living person, but please record their name. Complete as much
of
the chart as possible. You may note
"unknown" in any space that you don't have information for.
If
you don't have enough charts, just put your information on a plain piece of paper.
We
hope that each of you will also share copies of family and town photographs. These are a very
valuable
link to our past. The old adage stands true,
"a picture is worth a thousand words". Please
submit
copies of the photographs with as much information as possible; i.e. names, dates, and
place
the
photo was taken.
If
you or someone in your family have completed a family tree for any of your ancestral lines, a copy
of
that file would be a welcomed addition to our library.
It
should be noted too, that
on many occasions, a family member will have worked on the family
genealogy,
collected family records and those records are passed on to a family member after the
person's
death. Many times the family does not know
what to do with this information, but will
realize
the value of the project, and the records are
stored away. Should you, or someone you
know,
have such records, the Mt. Savage Historical Society would be happy to accept the records,
or
copies of them. They will be sorted and
preserved in our library/research center.
It
is the hope of our genealogy committee to have each member and friend's participation in
this
project. We feel it is very important to
record and preserve our area's rich family history.
Please
don't let your family history be lost in time.
