Several ways of organizing notes are described in:
William Dollarhide, Managing a Genealogical Project, Updated ed. (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1999). At various libraries (WorldCat); FS Library Book 929.1 D69m.
Many people use loose-leaf notebooks (such as 3 ring binders), or file folders to organize their materials. Put files in alphabetical order by the name of the husband. Your notebook file tabs, or file folders may include the information needed for on-going research, such as:
- Family group records
- Pedigree charts
- Maps
- Research logs for the family
- Photocopies of source documents, interview notes, copies of e-mail and correspondence, Internet printouts.
It is usually a good idea to have a notebook tab, or file folder for each family (parents and children). Store these notebooks or files in a safe place. You may want to take them with you when researching that family.
Individuals on your pedigree are in at least two families: (1) as a child, and (2) as a parent. Log information and file documents prior to marriage with the father’s file. Log information and file documents starting with marriage in the husband’s file.
