The person asking about forms didn't say whether he wanted computerized
forms or printed forms.  There are many sources for printed forms.  The
Mormons have a set of official forms.  Everton Publishers, Box 368,
Logan, Utah sells such forms.  I have three computerized forms I use;
a horizontal format family group sheet, a vertical format family group
sheet, and a horizontal format pedigree sheet.  I will post these three
to this newsgroup.  I simply use an editor to fill them in.  It isn't
state of the art methodology, but it is very transportable.  I use a
letter quality printer for the vertical family group sheet.  For the
horizontal format charts I use either a line printer or, when I can
find one, a laser printer in horizontal mode (neat).  In the notes 
section of the family group sheets I copy all the sources for the
information that is contained in the sheet.  By that I mean that, for
example, if I have a death certificate for a person, I copy all the
information from it into the notes section.  I find that having all the
information on a person (that is pertinent to researching that person) in
one place greatly facilitates my research.  Also, other people looking at
one of my sheets knows where I got all my information, where I was guessing
and where I was certain.
