Format of Person & Family Group Sheets

Format of Person & Family Group Sheets

Person sheets and family group sheets can be created in two basic formats: Normal and Questionnaire.

1. Normal

If the Normal format is selected, person sheets and family group sheets will not include empty fields. For example, if no birth date is recorded for a person, Reunion will not add an empty space for the birth date in the report. This option makes the most efficient use of space.

Part of the reward of owning a computer and printer is that next week, if some missing information is discovered (such as the aforementioned birth date), you can easily print a new sheet with updated information and replace the old one.

2. Questionnaire

If the Questionnaire format is selected, person sheets and family group sheets will include room for any field in the current layout — even for fields that are empty.

Examples:

Questionnaires are ideal worksheets for gathering data from relatives. They show, at a glance, what information you have, and what information has yet to be found.

Additional Spouses in Person Sheets

When the Questionnaire format is selected for person sheets, the Additional spouses button will appear, allowing room for additional spouses (in case your research on a particular person is not complete).

Additional Children in Family Group Sheets

When the Questionnaire format is selected for family group sheets, the Additional children button will appear, allowing room for additional children (in case your research on a particular family is not complete).
