Have you ever seen one of these? It's called a fan chart and is a cool way to look at your genealogy. You are in the white circle. Your parents are in the half circle around you. Your grandparents are in the next white half circle then it just keeps going out from there. The color coordination helps keep things in order. You can see 9 generations of your ancestors when looking at this fan chart. Of course, you can make it larger so you can actually see the names and dates of the people. And all those blank spaces? Those are people we still need to find and get their temple work done for them! Since I first printed out my fan chart about 2 years ago, some of the blank spaces have been filled in...and some of them by ME! It's exciting when you find someone!!
Here's how to make your own fan chart. Go to createfan.com then use your LDS login and follow the easy directions. You can download a copy. Go try it!
Marv, have Travis make a fan chart and then find John Hardiker on it...the one he's going to do baptisms for. It's much easier to read this chart than a pedigree chart! The other names won't be on the fan chart because they are John's sons and they aren't our direct ancestors.
