iFamily History: Instructions in Excel for a Surname Table

Family History Fanatics have a YouTube channel with training videos. Devon has a video training on a Surname Table, shown below.

The video explains how to use it and why but she does not explain how to make it in Excel.

With Devon's permission, I created a four (4) page pdf document explaining how to create her document in Excel.

Watch the video [link below] to hear Devon explain what this is and why it will help you in your family history research.

Genealogy

I am on the board and CFO of mitoYDNA.org and currently President of Alberta Genealogical Society.

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.
