• Any Family Group Sheets that have LIVING people on them will not be put online. If the person was born before 1904 it is assumed they are no longer living.  
• Put all SURNAMES in capital letters!
• Please list a Michigan County or up to 3 that each sheet is associated and is a listed in the person's birth, death, marriage or burial.  HELP: Lookup a place and find the county.
• Add any additional information in the area left for notes, below the children.
• We strongly encourage everyone to quote their sources in the notes area.  Just the title of the source is sufficient. 

Choose a Way to Submit Your Sheets

• ONLINE FORMS - Fill in and hit the buttons to send the sheet while you are online.  NOTE: The form will send a copy to you also.  If you have your e-mail setting to text only messages the one coming to you will look like gibberish.  
  
  SIMPLE FORM - (Example) No extra scripting used on this one.  Fill out online and a copy is sent to us automatically.  

BY E-MAIL - We have a page ready with all you need to copy and paste into an e-mail or text editor. Simply fill in and send to us.  

• USE REPORTS GENERATED BY YOUR PROGRAM - and attach to an e-mail - this is the easiest method for submitting sheets. 

  Using a software program to create a family group sheet to put online: 1. Family Origin Software - Does well when sending as a text file. Example Here.  Please do not send PDF files. 2. Legacy Software - Makes excellent family sheets.    HOW TO HERE Example Here      Get the FREE edition of Legacy Software. 3.

Generate the report in text only.  PDF files can not be accepted as I have no way to work with them and add copyright information or link backs, etc. Send your file (one per e-mail) by e-mail as an attachment to: Note in the Subject Line: Given and Surname - FGS attached Please make sure you use the above subject line.  I have software that looks at all attachments suspiciously to avoid worms and viruses, and by having that subject line I can save the e-mail from being deleted.
