Gould Genealogy and History

This is not your usual pedigree chart, as it allows for generations both up and down to be entered. In the middle, there is a place for the husband and wife and below them, boxes to add their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To the left is where you will fill in the ancestors of the husband (male side) and there are places going back seven more generations in a direct pedigree. Below that are spaces for his brothers and sisters and below that, his aunts and uncles and below that, a notes field to add things like additional spouses, name variations, migration routes or anything that is important to make note of. There is a lot of space here for just about everyone and every thing plus empty space that you can add photos or artwork to jazz it up a little. It is intentionally left quite plain so you can add a border, art or photos or, just leave it alone and put a frame on it. The right side is duplicated for the female side of the family.

Please note that the publishers have found a small mistake! It was quickly pointed out that there is a typo. Instead of the word "mother" on one of the spaces, they have put another "father". It is barely noticeable but it is there. So, these are selling cheaper, and the next printing will see the price go back up.

We suggest first filling the chart out with lead pencil and then with a very fine point acid-free pen. Brown is suggested since this chart has brown tones. After you have filled it in by pencil, go over it with the permanent pen. Use a GOOD quality eraser to take off pencil lines or letters later.
