I think some get frustrated because they think they have to do it they way someone else suggests. Looking at others ideas is great but if in the end you know you won't stick with it, then it's not worth changing. Working it back? Great way to think of it! Great suggestion! Hope to meet you in person in Salt Lake!

I always try to think about how I want to use something (the end product) and then work the process back (my dad and sister are engineers - what can I say!). For me it works best to have it all in one place together with some ideas on where I might find it. That way if a research trip comes up (or I talk one of my relatives or friends into looking something up for me) I have the information I need at my fingertips. Play around with a couple of ideas Cheri and see what works best for you and what you are able to stick with. Let us know what you come up with - I am always up for new and better ways to do things. And thanks so much for the shout out!Tessa Keoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146870113899850353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-28016573331633888732015-01-26T09:46:42.934-05:002015-01-26T09:46:42.934-05:00I have one for each surname but still have a hard ... I have one for each surname but still have a hard time! Lol! I am going to give the Evernote idea a try and see how it works. I love Thomas MacEntee's Research Log as well. I will let you know how it goes!<br />Thanks, Colleen, I appreciate your comments!Cheri Hudson Passeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439902368387077263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-18886067454975211922015-01-26T08:46:54.242-05:002015-01-26T08:46:54.242-05:00Cheri, I keep notes in a spiral notebook recording...Cheri, I keep notes in a spiral notebook recording my research; general notes on the direction I go in.Like you I found it difficult to go back and find a person or research event. I changed slightly. Now I have two notebooks; one for Mom's side and one for Dad's side of the family. That is a bit easier to handle.Colleen G.
