done finally

I’m trying not to be perfectionist about this. I can’t get the software to merge two trees together smoothly, it creates duplicates and doesn’t merge the info together really. So I just manually added in the last few names. I’d like to eventually get all of the citations for facts and all of that stuff put into a really good tree. But for now the basic tree is done and so I can mark this as completed. Yay!
That’s me on the bottom…

slight step back

Since I formatted, I have to download the software again and get my saved file off a disc in order to input the last few names and complete this. Currently downloading the software so that’s one step in the right direction.

That’s me on the left!
I’ll consider this done when I’ve gotten all of my great grandparents in the tree. Right now I’ve gotten well beyond that on my maternal grandfather’s side but both my grandmother’s family trees need fleshing out (I have no info for one’s parents) and I’d like a bit more info on my paternal grandfather’s parents.
Found some old examples of this

...Years ago I’d found some decent notation for documenting family trees and I’ve just found something similar at least.
I found it on a Fabry support website thanks to google search. I tried searching google images for “family tree” notation, but that didn’t give good results… family tree symbols worked really well.
There are several other images, the combination of which give a pretty comprehensive notation system for documenting your family tree.
My advice

Is to ask all living grandfathers & grandmothers, taking paper and record their stories before it’s too late.
Then use a standard gedcom software application to record, update and mantain all the collected information.
I carry it on my palm handheld for reference with a free program called PAF (Personal Ancestral File) downloadable from http://familysearch.org which is able to import standard gedcom file.
I then recorded a MP3 CD with grandma’s story that is today the deligth of my kids.
