List of Ancestral Places (National Institute)

Forms
Location

This form will assist in showing ancestors or descendants who all lived in one particular place at any given time. It is especially useful for individuals who moved from one location to another at different times in their lives.

Keeping a location list will enable you to see at a glance which individuals resided, or passed through, the same place. This may give you insight into difficult searches you are having with some of them.

Simply start a new sheet every time you discover a new geographic place name. A country or even a state or province would be too general. You will want to consider heading the list with a smaller geographic unit like a parish, town, township or county.
