Problem: How Can I Make it Easier for Family Members to Send Me Information?

Genelines helps by allowing you to create a biographical chart for just one person, with blank space to record missing information on – like a worksheet. In this example, the researcher created a “working” biographical chart to hand out at a family reunion. By including empty life event categories on the chart, there is room to write brief notes. Including historical information also helps prompt the reader's memory. The researcher could also have used Genelines to publish this chart as a PDF document and emailed it to remote family members.
