Family group sheets, such as those collected in this database, are among the most useful types of records because they compile information on entire families. Unlike previous publications of Everton's Computerized Family File, which included just a name index, this database includes an index as well as images of the actual family group sheets.

Combined, these family group sheets provide information on approximately 389,000 individuals from all fifty United States and around the world (including Canada, England, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Prussia, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland).
