Years ago when I was doing a lot of online research and had to transcribe all of the info I found (now you can usually save or link to original doc's) I found this chart to be absolutely invaluable to keep my research in some semblance of order. I tried to link to the Ancestry website directly but had issues finding these charts - don't know if they even offer them anymore so I have uploaded a copy for your use.
I also have charts from Ancestry for transcribing old census records. If you need these just let me know in the comments and I will upload these also.
