Am loving the research document - strings all the information together

Doing research notes thanks to you.
I was doing rather chatty individual stories on individual ancestors so I am adding to those, including things I had in mind but never wrote down or wrote on a scrap of paper and threw away e.g. when a female ancestor became a property owner. Thank you for attempting to organise me, even my folders and files are better structured!

Thank you for the checklist! And of course, the video class.🥰

You’re probably my favorite person on YouTube right now. I appreciate how thorough but to the point you are. And it seems like every time I find I have a question, you’ve usually already answered it! Thank you so much.
I’m currently going through this process with my tree, and it makes me feel good to know that many of the steps I decided to take are ones you have recommended. I took your advice and started making research notes though and wow what a difference it’s making in my workflow

I watched an earlier video about how to go back and handle a tree already built - do it over vs verify - and need to go through and do at least pedigree verification. I find my ‘brick walls’ are more verified (in terms of % available information) than more recent people because that’s where I have spent the most of my time!

Thank you Connie. It’s all very well reading books and magazine articles and listening to lectures - but I’ve always found - whether it be accounting issues, accounting software, genealogical software or genealogical methods - that the best learning for me is watching someone else do some processes. I sit there and go “yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh! I’d didn’t know that button did that!, yeah, yeah, yeah.” Please do more.

Realize that the DAR wants applicants to reference the latest, newest approved application for your ancestor that you are proving your lineage through.that is, when you “piggyback” your line to the previously approved ancestor…..

I use PDFsam Basic to split and merge PDF‘s for years. Great tool.

I started my research notes in the days before I had a computer and they have been a geneaological lifesaver. Always always copy the source information including the library/archive where you found the information.

@moragwalker6325 2 years ago

Thank you Connie for these Research notes. I need to go and do that so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

@richardhoover4471 2 years ago

Thanks, as always, Connie, for another “fantabulous” video.
