I,m a first timer at this. Is there a way to put text into blank forms such as Cemetery Reports, Census Reports, Research Reports, Military Reports, etc. I hope someone can let me know. I have so much information to record that I would like to do it on the computer rather than having to do it by hand. Thanks in advance. Diane

I've *used* such templates, but I've never created one. I think they can also be done in Adobe Acrobat if you have the full in$$tallion. No help there, huh? However, having used these templates, let me say this about that -- I'd sooner just set up a spreadsheet or straight type them into WP or Word. YMMV of course. Cheryl

Diane, there are Census Forms as well as Cemetery Records Recording Sheets available to download from: http://www.censustools.com/ These may be able to help with what you need to do. While they are free, the creator appreciates donations :-). Censusmate is another aid which may help too. It can be downloaded in MS Excel format for filling in on your computer: http://censusmate.com/index.html Ancestry.com have census forms to download. These are in PDF format and are to be used as paper records for hand completion, not quite what you want to do. I just included them in case they offer something the others don't as far as your needs go: http://www.ancestry.com/save/charts/census.htm Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
