- Family Group Sheet (FGS)
- Use this Family Group Sheet by National Genealogical Society (NGS) when submitting
documents with the LPRA. You can fill out the NGS-FGS form before saving it to your computer. Use only one
form for each family unless you might need more space.
There are other FGS similar to NGS like the
Family Search FGS so any of these will suffice.
You may also use Family Tree Maker (2019 or 2024)
if you have a subscription to Ancestry.com. To use the Family Tree Maker, select the Publish tab, and under
Person Reports, select Individual Report.

- The Family’s Inspirational Historian
- Branches of the Heart is an adaptation from an old fable "The Little Red Hen”. It is
a traditional folk tale, likely of Russian or English origin, passed down orally before
being popularized in writing. It was first collected and published in America by
Mary Mapes Dodge in 1874 for St. Nicholas Magazine. Common, well-known
versions were later retold by Florence White Williams (1918) and Paul Galdone.
Furthermore, the story was also a spin-off from the Adventures of Amberlon:
Among the Oaks which was a recording created and registered at the Copyright
Office in 2008 (PAu 3-470-655). Branches of the Heart was created specifically for
CFP by Jesse Carpenter. All Rights Reserved.
