If you have more sources for a person than you can easily see here is a way to organize them. Create a source Labeled "Censuses" (or any other title that would help you ie. Reference Works, Birth Records, Marriage records, Death reocrds, Birth records as children). That is all you put in the source, just the title. Then organize your sources so all the similar sources are together. Include a title source and move it to the top of each grouping. Keep these title sources in one folder in your sourcebox and reuse them. See Silas Trowbridge for an example 273W-1MW | If you have more sources for a person than you can easily see here is a way to organize them.

Some prefer to organize sources chronologically and change the source titles slightly to include a year at the end of the title. See, for example, Evan George Black KWCH-7WG. A chronologically listing allows me to see the sources as a quasi-timeline of the ancestor's life. | Some prefer to organize sources chronologically and change the source titles slightly to include a year at the end of the title.

You can create a Discussion headed "Research undertaken on John Smith." <br>Write a description of your past searches as a way to record what search activities and results you've performed on this ancestor. Then later you can add new comments about your search and results. If you copy the url of a search you can paste it here to get back to the same search. Start by recording the results of a duplicates search. Iif you fill the box to the maximum allowed characters, create another headed "Research undertaken on John Smith (continued)". | You can create a Discussion headed "Research undertaken on John Smith." <br>Write a description of your past searches as a way to record what search activities and results you've performed on this ancestor.
