I would like to extend special thanks to Melvin S. Atkinson and his “Provo Stake System of Genealogical Research” for getting me started in the right direction, as far as organizing my notes, and for his permitting me to use the forms he developed as examples in this booklet.
Thanks also to Roger C. Flick, my Genealogy teacher at Brigham Young University, for his help and comments.
Most recently, thanks to Diana Taeger for encouraging me to share what I had written years ago and to Jennifer Hua for editing the manuscript.
Lastly, a big thank you to my family for working with me, teaching me new computer skills and putting up with my occasional single-minded focus on this project.
