Kathy, An interesting question, and one which I doubt if I can answer! You ask for the "right way", in common with many Legacy features I seriously question whether there is such a thing. I will not be sending an example of mine simply because I cannot think of any single one which could be described as 'typical'. I tend to use them for whatever strikes my fancy as being worthwhile recording; I do not use General Notes for this, as I have reserved those for notes which may eventually(?) provide the basis for a biography of the person - some may do it the other way round (and I may have done this myself, had I thought about it over 10yrs ago! So, my Research Notes may contain notes on why I have interpreted a census in a certain way, where there is a confliction between documents, and stuff like that.
My individual's research progress is held in Individual ToDos. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Meyer Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 8:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Research Notes I want to start using my Research Notes more efficiently. Would anyone be willing to email me back privately with a sample of how you record your Research there? I'm sure there are as many variations as there are people and I'd like to see how others are successfully using this so I can discover what works best for me. If anyone else would like me to forward the responses I receive, please email me privately as well. If you think it's ok to post on the list, that's fine too but I'm willing to compile and share the responses privately off-list. My thought was that it might be 'easy' to copy/paste a page from your research notes into an email. I'm open to whatever suggestions anyone has. I just did some research at the FHL yesterday and I want to start doing this 'right' for a number of reasons and now is the best time. Thank you in advance to anyone who will take the time and effort to help with this.
