ANNCESTOR SHEET (FORM A) INSTRUCTIONS

This form is used to list a person's ancestors (spouse, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.). Typically, the spouse marrying into the ROLL family would fill out this form; so we would know who are his/her ancestors (parents, grandparents, etc.). It would not be necessary to fill out the ancestors on the ROLL side because we already researched the ROLLs back a few centuries. We are particularly interested in receiving Ancestor Sheets on spouse's parents who are of German-Russian origin!  You can download forms and form instructions at www.rollintl.com/roll/forms.htm.


ANCESTOR SHEET OVERVIEW:
- a) Print a bold asterisk (*) by the name of each person you filled out a Family Group Sheet.
