PEDIGREE CHARTS: Enclosed (in the print edition of Keo-Mah Tracers) is what a pedigree chart must look like. 8 ½ by 11. No bigger and no smaller. You may use he one enclosed or print one that looks exactly like this to send to us. It needs to have born, married and died on each generation. Where the events took place if possible. Your name and address and date submitted either in the lower left corner or the upper left corner. You may use a label for this and then print the date below in black ink. We are experiencing every which way for these. So if you are one who has sent one with just name and when born or an oversize chart, please submit again. These must fit in a binder and cannot be any other size. If you use ours, please print legible and in dark black ink. We plan to run some of these in our newsletter and if they do no zerox well, then they cannot be used. You may continue a line by beginning with the name you plan to continue the line but on another pedigree generation chart. Please learn the difference between a family chart and a pedigree chart. Thank you. Looking forward to receiving your pedigree charts.
DUES: Some have not yet paid their dues for 2004 but as a courtesy to those overdue, we are extending this newsletter to you and hope you will send your dues right away.
