How do you organize your family tree research?
Organizing the information you find out about your family tree, is a long & exhausting project. I've taken time over the last couple of months, to try to do just that.
I have a huge white binder filled with my notes & print outs & pedigree charts. I've tried to organize according to family, but needless to say, my notes are all over the place. I have the information according to family surnames, but a few of the documents have been duplicated because the family member is in multiple places in my binder.
It wasn't long before I realized this system was NOT working. So I started to do what I always do when I can't figure out something with my tree....I researched.
I've found a couple of Youtube videos, but this one is one of my favorites.
Hanging file folders & a file cabinet is a great idea, but before I can get here, I have to find a digital way to carry all of my notes with me. That's where Google is helpful for me. I'm a Google addict. I use Google for everything, including organizing my numerous notes. Typing these notes out, made me think of them again & see if I have "exhausted my search".
