With different branches of the family living in the same area it's hard for me not to search for several lines when I'm looking through a particular book or other source. Even though I record my sources, I find that sometimes I just want the linear path in front of me to see what the steps to the "find" were.

I'm still in the middle of both paper and computer, trying not to straddle the fence but not succeeding. I like my paper files but I also like access to information on the computer. I can have it both ways if I'm willing to do it. Recording the information (promptly) in my gen. file is one of my challenges.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-4093565817261633512014-08-04T23:33:56.412-04:002014-08-04T23:33:56.412-04:00Oh, me, too, Wendy.

I don't know that it's important to know the trail, though, if we've recorded the sources. (I guess IF can be a big condition in this situation.)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-82896816033973249692014-08-01T19:25:22.319-04:002014-08-01T19:25:22.319-04:00I totally understand because I do the exact same t...I totally understand because I do the exact same thing. I take off on a path and it veers one way and the other and it's so easy to get lost when we try to retrace that path. I am trying to do better at my note taking, but it's still a trick to remember exactly what I was thinking at the tie.
