Using WorldConnect

• Tapp Family USA Database - database of Tapp census and other records aka "tappfamilyus"
• The Tapp Family of Frederick County, Virginia - my line aka "frederickctytapp"

The links to my databases will take you inside that database where you can search within that database only. At the main interface, you enter the name the person you are looking for as "Surname, Given". If you enter "Tapp, Samuel" you'll get a list of all the different Samuel Tapp's to pick from including any middle initials or birth dates. For common first names, I recommend you go to the advanced search to enter additional information to help narrow your search.

Once you select a individual, you have the choice of different views of the information on that person (sometimes Pedigree and Ahnentafel links are listed below the details):

• Individual view (default) - all the facts and sources
• Descendancy view - the descendants in an outline format with generations numbered
• Register - a narrative of the descendants and some facts by generation
• Pedigree - a 5 generation ancestor tree (also has the option of changing to text format)
• Ahnentafel - a 1 generation narrative using the German standard format
