You will need to bring your 4 generation pedigree chart, a family group
sheet for each of those families, and supplies from the shopping list
below. It may be less expensive to do a group purchase of the items
on the shopping list, if you want to do it with family or friends.
Reference = Genealogical Organizational Filing System by
Mary V. Hill.
http://www.123genealogy.com/organizer/tips/shopping.htm
1. File box (1) (temporarily, you can use a cardboard box whose sides
fit the hanging folders).
2. Colored hanging file folders (4 per color). Letter-size hanging folders
in blue, green, red, and yellow. They come with 1/3 and 1/5 cut slots,
which has to do with the size of the plastic tab. Choose the 1/5 cut
which works best with this system. Hanging file folders keep the
manilla folders from slipping down in the file box. You will need 4 of
each color, minimum. Most office supply companies sell the colored
file folders in packs of 25. If the package comes with a 5th color, it
will also be used.
3. Standard green file folders (25). Letter-size hanging file folders in the
generic standard green color, 1/5 cut.
4. Manilla folders (50). 1/3 cut tabs assorted, with reinforcement tops to
last through heavy use. Use 1/3 cut so that the labels will fit on the
folder. (1/5 cut will not give you the room to place the label on it and
write down the information.) Paying a little more for reinforced tops
will be well worth it because you won't have to redo your work down
the road a few years.
5. Pens. At least one ultra-fine point, felt tip or roller type, black
permanent ink pen. This must be permanent black ink for use with
both labels and charts.
6. Highlighters. Light blue, light green, yellow and pink (do not use red
because it is too dark.) These come in packs and our suggestion also
contain whatever the 5th color came with the hanging files, which may
be used in the color system. Colored pencils also work.
7. File labels (1 color assorted package). You will need labels in blue,
green, red, and yellow. They should be permanent adhesive backed,
or you may have to replace them over time. The labels shoud be 1/3
cut to match the manilla folder cut.
Bring these materials with you: they will NOT be available at the class.

- Additional classes will be listed as they are scheduled.
