All group sheets belong to the submitter. We only post them online for you. We do not give them to anyone else to use.

1. Please DO NOT send attachments without prior notice. They will be deleted and your group sheet will not get posted.

2. DO NOT include living persons. In place of their name put the word LIVING and do not include any other information on them. If it appears that they are still living, all their information will be deleted. If you know they are deceased, but do not have a death date, put the words "deceased date unknown" in place of the date. If it is left blank I can only presume they are living.

3. You MUST show the connection the head of household of the group sheet has with the US. Example: John Smith's grandson migrated to the US in 1843.

4. Do not go further back than 2 generations from the person that has the ties with the US. (This would mean do not go further back than the grandparents.)

5. Please only submit the main line of the person showing the US ties. 

6. You MUST give your name and a contact address (email OR snail mail). You do not have to give your full name. A first name or initials will work if you do not want to give your full name. If you do not give the contact information, your group sheet will be deleted.

7 . If I find a problem with a group sheet, I will attempt to contact the sender. If you do not reply, I will not post your group sheet, so please take the time to contact me and work out the problem. We do not automatically correct your mistakes for you. Please check your group sheet for typo's before actually submitting it. If you notice a mistake after it is posted online, email Bettie with:
    1. The name of the website. 
    2. The name of the head of household on the group sheet.
    3. The necessary corrections. 
    Example: International FGS Correction for John Smith - please change birth date on third child from 1945 to 1845.
