I don't think I'd like it any other way. If we don't learn as we go, we aren't improving. There's always something else to learn.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-59978713568703145002014-09-04T23:06:28.140-07:002014-09-04T23:06:28.140-07:00I find I eventually get buried in all that stuff I...I find I eventually get buried in all that stuff I've printed out. That's where putting Colleen's advice into action comes in handy.<br /><br />I'm getting to the point where I try to scan everything, rather than print it out. Then, all I need to do is think of all the appropriate tags to file each scan under.<br /><br />Of course, whether my mind works according to today's logic in ten years may well be the ultimate question. I guess, in a long-term project such as genealogical research, there will always be best-laid plans which turn up lacking, given a decade or so.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-21450992216573136782014-09-04T23:02:03.117-07:002014-09-04T23:02:03.117-07:00Good point, Colleen!

And oh, for the foreknowledge to be able to understand all those terms which, in our beginner state, we didn't think meant anything at all to our current search. Sometimes, it's not so much <i>finding</i> the documents again, as it is believing that everything--even those words we don't yet recognize as important--may have significance to our search.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-7845308231479309622014-09-04T12:49:59.692-07:002014-09-04T12:49:59.692-07:00We learn as we go with our genealogy research, so ...We learn as we go with our genealogy research, so it's perfectly fine that you took another look at the same records.

Not only must you find documents you must be able to organize them so you can find them again and again when you need them.Colleen G.
