When I decide to work on this particular line of the family, I open the document and reference it to ensure I'm not tracking down the same paths that I have done before. Having this document keeps me from rummaging through my binders or computer folders looking for what evidence I already have.Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-42374602891456300422011-04-03T14:07:23.811-05:002011-04-03T14:07:23.811-05:00At the very least, your spreadsheet is a great sta...At the very least, your spreadsheet is a great start. Please tell me more about HOW you use it: template on your desktop? online &/or printed out? etc. I've tried something similar before a couple of times, but I haven't found a structure or procedure that is easy enough or intuitive enough for me to keep it up...

I just wrote a blog about my determination to get organized at Searchin' for Kinfolk.

Also it will make life easier when you make use of the document in your research and you want to source it.
