Forms

Keeping track of your information is very important. Starting out you may remember certain facts and details, however, once you start gathering more pieces of the family puzzle, it will become difficult to remember what you have found and where or if you already did a search for a certain record. There are many options available to help you keep track. Explore what works best for you. It is also helpful when asking others for help to be able to access a certain record to share instead of trying to share from memory.
