I started the Redo in March 2015 and it has felt like a really long journey. I'm still in the "organize what you have rather than find more" stage which has been really hard to accomplish. But I finally feel like I am making some real progress. (Although there is a long way to go.) I had a ton of saved documents that were only divided by family. So I finally decided to sort by type of record, i.e. newspaper, census, dutch records etc. and that has helped out a TON. I also labeled them by number, 1-13 and I'm on number 5 already!
So being "done" with a section means that the each item is saved as a jpg on my external hard drive, saved as a pdf on my dropbox account, and logged into the corresponding family research log. Then it is also add to my roots magic family tree and each person & fact has a source attached. I know everything is not perfect because I do make mistakes but I do love seeing those files lining up by numbers!
PS: this is my 200th posting!
