Kathy, You mentioned a "Research Log" in your email below. I use Legacy's "Research Notes" as a "Research Log" noting everything in chronological order from birth to burial and anything in between. I use Legacy's "ToDo List" to make notes of additional items that I need to do further research on the individual in question. I agree with Ron, as with so many features in Legacy there is no right or wrong way, just individual preferences. Hope this helps.

Ron, I think maybe you have hit on the answer I need. I haven't used 'to dos' much; played a bit to see how it worked but that's it. I felt like I had to really embrace that function if I was going to use it effectively, otherwise, I would probably enter a few things and forget to go back and look. I'm still very much attached to my paper and pencil, making notes about what films I want to look at etc. I was thinking Research Notes because a lot of people used to use a 'research log' to record what they were searching (film), what they were looking for and what the results were. So I was thinking that Research Notes would take over that function; and I guess it could, easily. But MAYBE it would be better, even after the fact, to go into the ToDo List and create a ToDo item for each film I looked at, it's source description, and my results from that. I am looking for a way to record everything I've researched on a particular person in one place so I could look at it and see what records I have already viewed and their results. Would using the ToDo list in the way I mentioned accomplish that? Thanks!
