In order to document a family group record the best genealogists select '''one event''' in '''one person'''’s life on which to concentrate at a time. They work on that event until they document it, and/or exhaust '''all''' possibilities trying. They do not research another event until finished with the first. And when they start work on a new event, it is almost always on the '''same''' family group record. This strategy of finishing the documentation on the '''whole''' family before moving on is fundamental. It builds a collection of clues that can be compared and correlated to judge relevance and reliability of the documentation. It is also an important part of understanding the family and its members in their [[Research a Family in Community Context|community context]]. <br> | In order to document a family group record the best genealogists select '''one event''' in '''one person'''’s life on which to concentrate at a time.
