The outline is by far the easiest, all you to is click on outline, click on contents, items to include, choose name, all three dates [b,m,d] in location, spouse's father, take out the short default date or you will have double dates, click on contents again and choose 2 or 3 generations, don't send people 10 generations down to your grandchildren unless they ask, besides it is a bad idea to send out so much personal information to strangers. Then just click on edit and copy the outline, and simply paste into email. You only have to choose items to include the first time, the program remembers this the next time. There are 3 charts you can create but these must be copied, pasted to word, cut from word, and pasted to email which seems like a lot of work to me when the outline is so easy, but… Click on GEN REPT, click on format and choose one. Click on contents and choose options, you don't have to include the notes, which makes a shorter chart, then choose 2 or 3 generations. First is the register style which prints the entire name in ALL CAPS and skips lines between most people, this form takes up a lot of space and the all caps are hard to read. Second is a much better form called the NGS format, which is descent ordered and prints a nice compact list of children, then in the second gen. lists the children that you have more info on and their children. It is by far superior to the register style. Third is the ancestor chart which does just that, prints out ancestors, you can choose how many generations, again it is best to choose only 2 or 3. Family Tree Maker is an amazing program and every six months or so you should skim through the manual to see if you can learn something new. Sandy in Florida

My GGGG grandfather was John Hensel (born VA about 1774, lived in Monroe County, OH). Would like to correspond with any of his descendants and cooperate on efforts to trace his ancestry.

I have found records indicating that my GGGG grandmother Elizabeth HIGHLEY and my GGG grandfather Peter HIGHLEY were patentees (i.e. original owners of land grants) for several pieces of land in Monroe County, OH. How can I locate those properties on a map? The properties were granted through the land office in Marietta between 1827 and 1846. Any info appreciated.

I have recently learned that I have several ancestors buried in the Brownsville Cemetery in Brownsville, Monroe County, OH. I would like to visit the cemetery. I understand it is 15 miles or so south of Woodsfield. Can anyone send me directions to the cemetery and information on the accessibility of the cemetery (do I need a 4WD to get there?). I normally come into Woodsfield from the west on Rt 78. Also does anyone know where I could get a list (on the web or on paper) of the folks buried in the Brownsville Cemetery?

I am researching the following members of the HIGHLEY family who resided in Monroe County, OH. Elizabeth HIGHLEY, her son Peter HIGHLEY, and his son Abraham HIGHLEY. Would like to correspond with descendants of any of them.

Hello Mary, Could this have been William Christian Johnston born 1st Nov 1830 and supposedly died 14 Dec 1864? If so, he would be a brother to my 3rd great grandmother Mary Johnston. She was born in Monroe County 18 Nov 1826. If this is the correct William, then his father was also a William Johnston and his mother was Esther Emmons. Would be glad to exchange further information with you. Les Shockey At 08:25 PM 8/6/99 -0700, you wrote: >Hi, I'm new to the Monroe Co. list.
