Thanks, Michelle. Very helpful. Right now I am doing research for our vacation to Pa. this summer, so I've just been putting "Pennsylvania" in the Locality. If/when I get down to things I need to try to OBTAIN during our vacation, I can update the Locality to "Washington Co. Courthouse" e.g. Will play with "filter" in meantime to get more comfortable. Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] the value of the to-do list
Here ya go! I wish I could do screen shots but I will try 
Here is an actual one where I just heard back from a courthouse.
CATEGORY – Marriage Certificate
LOCALITY – Lamar Co, MS Courthouse
TASK NEEDING TO BE DONE – Obtain Wash and Annie’s marriage license
OPEN DATE – 12 Jan 2012
REMINDER DATE – 12 Feb 2012 (I usually put a month)
CLOSE DATE: – 27 Jan 2012
TASK DESCRIPTION -
Request letter sent 12 Feb 2012.
RESULTS -
Lamar County responded back that they don’t have a record of this
marriage. A new request letter will be sent to Marion Co.
REPOSITORY -
Lamar County Circuit Court
403 Main Street
Purvis, MS 39475
(601) 794-3470
Here is one where I found a book I needed on World Cat. It happened
to be at the Reese Library (Augusta State Univ) which is near me. I add
these in and then when I ready to go to the Reese Library I put a filter on so
that only the open Reese Library to-dos will show up and then I can print a
list.
CATEGORY – Will
LOCALITY – Reese Library
TASK NEEDING TO BE DONE – Look for Elizabeth Lee’s will abstract
OPEN DATE – 17 JUL 2011
REMINDER DATE – 17 AUG 2011
CLOSED DATE – [I haven’t gone yet!]
TASK DESCRIPTION -
Check the book
Title: Abstracts of the wills of Edgecombe County, North Carolina,
1733-1856
Author: Ruth Smith Williams; Margarette Glenn Griffin
Publisher Rocky Mount, N.C. : J.W. Watson, 1980
NOTE: I just copied and pasted the book info from World Cat, I didn’t have
to type it!
RESULTS : [I haven’t gone yet]
REPOSITORY:
Reese Library (Augusta State University)
2500 Walton Way
Augusta, GA 30904
(706) 667-4904
NOTE: I only have to put in the repository ONCE. From then on you can
pick it from a drop down list.
Right now I have EIGHT entries for the Reese Library. I will print
those out before I go. You can sort/filter your to-do list many
ways. I also have several to-dos for the the Richmond County
Courthouse. I can sort by that and then take the list with me.
The list that prints out has a place where you can write notes which is very
handy.
You can make GENERAL entries or SPECIFIC to an individual entries. A
general entry might be something like “look for all Martins in the Augusta City
Cemetery” and your locality/repository would be Find-A-Grave.
A specific one would be looking for James Elexander Simmons’ death
certificate.
I hope this helps
