Yes, I do that. I also put it in the Master Source List. But either way, I can't readily identify that its a source that I have reviewed, but has no information on my ancester. Sometimes, I put aside research on a family and work on someone else. It may be months or even the next year before I pick it back up. Then, as I begin planning the next steps in my research, I sometimes identify the same source that has already been reviewed. I guess I am looking for a easy to identify method to flag a source to indicate it doesn't have data on that ancestor.

Kirsten From: Jan Wilson Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 5:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] How to record sources that don't have relevant information Unfortunately I've wasted a lot of time over the years going back and looking at the same sources that didn't contain any relevant information on one of my ancestors because I didn't have a good way of recording and tracking it. I'd like to create a list, by individual, of all the "empty" sources I've reviewed so that when I go to the library to do research I can check to see if I've looked at that resource previously. How do you handle this?
