The only problem I have with the Legacy Research log is that it is too big
and clunky. I have to make a research log for the BCG (Board for the
Certification of Genealogists) and it can only be one page. I have to be
able to get about 10 entries on there. I have been looking for a research
log
Thanks, Marc!
