* Keep track of your research with a Research Log. Saves repeat searches for the same records. If you do not find anything, make a notation.  You’ll be glad you did!
* Keep track of your sources. If you use a genealogy database program (Legacy, Roots Magic, etc.) you can record those here. Using paper forms? Make source notes here. Using Family Search or Ancestry only?  Add those sources immediately—too easy to forget later on.  “Genealogy without documentation is Mythology!
