[[Image:Pedigree Chart Blank.png|thumb]] Most[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/File:Blank_Pedigree.pdf pedigree charts], sometimes called “Ancestor” or “Lineage” Charts, have space for four or five generations (parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.) There is space for full names, dates and places of birth, marriage, and death. See the example at the right. Ancestral lines can continue onto other charts. Some pedigree charts display fewer generations for simplicity and, in doing so, allow plenty of room to include whatever researchers may value most; ancestor portraits, ancestors' siblings in birth order, source information, or customized compiler comments to aid the other researchers in verification or overcoming their next brick wall relative.

A [ | A[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/File:Research_Log.pdf research log] (or calendar of searches) is a list of the source you searched, or plan to search for each objective, ancestor or family. It includes notes about what you found (and didn’t find). Most logs are kept in the order that records are selected or searches are made. | ||
You may have a research log for each objective, locality, ancestor, or family. Most researchers prefer to keep it simple with a set of research logs for each family they research. There are varying formats for research logs depending on what information is to be sought out.

'''When do you use a Research Extract Form?''' When researching a book and extracting all of one surname from each page in the book, is an example of when a Research Extract Form would be used. A trip to the Cemetery, a telephone conversation or interview with a relative might be another instance. | '''When do you use a Research Extract Form?'''
