There were so many of both! I need a form to compare all the John Wilsons in 19th century Alabama, for example, so I can get some clue which one might have been ours. I need to spread something out and see if I can trace a continuity. Something like census extracts in a spreadsheet might work ... do you have any ideas? Thanks!

One modification I'd make, tho, is to color-code spouse to his/her children in the case of multiple marriages.JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-52724630119277011022010-04-26T22:50:09.052-04:002010-04-26T22:50:09.052-04:00T.K., I'm with you on the "artistic"...T.K., I'm with you on the "artistic" aspect of the circles, that is, how the eye moves across the page.

I like it! ...and honestly, I think this one beats the one with boxes. The circles let the eye move around the page at random instead of marching from box to box.
