Organizing Multiple Spouses and Children into an Excel Timeline for Your Family History

Recently I had a GTV Academy member ask a question about how to organize multiple spouses with multiple kids with multiple names.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet to help organize all of those ancestors, their marriages, and children by various spouses, in a timeline with dates and places… to help visualize exactly what was happening and when.

The example used is available for free so you can see exactly how I created this using Excel. This can be opened in Google Sheets as well. Click here.
