Excerpt from Genealogies of the Barden Families and Their Descendants in the United States to the Present Generation: With Photographic Blue Prints of More Than 125 Persons and a Dozen Places The following section of an ancestral chart is included to illustrate an excellent method of keeping Records. There are several forms one other being the Connecticut fan chart. This square form where each column is a generation and with available pictures inserted as above. Is in the best position to see and understand. It may be noted that two Barden lines run beyond the chart limit and are turned above and below the line. The pictures and data in this book are the best obtainable by the author to date and it is hoped other data and pictures and cor rections will be sent in to be inserted in future bindings, a limited number only being bound this year. In the tracing of lineage each person has a number which is also the number for that person's family. To trace descent from any one find farther in the list, the family head with that number and then the descendant and so on. Down to the present. For ancestry go back each time from the family head to that number in the children's list. Take the family head number to the children's list again and so on to the emigrant ancestor.
