There are people notes (syncs & visible on Ancestry.com notes), research notes (for people), relationship notes, fact notes, and source notes. Ancestry.com released a video about it (<a href="https://sweetwithnutshttps://sweetwithnuts2018.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-49067994019657003772012-09-16T09:31:00.686-04:002012-09-16T09:31:00.686-04:00Tessa, I'd like to know how others manage this...Tessa, I'd like to know how others manage this too.Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-82143897996602730432012-09-16T09:30:41.797-04:002012-09-16T09:30:41.797-04:00Tim - Thanks for mentioning Legacy's note fiel...Tim - Thanks for mentioning Legacy's note fields.

Researchers must always conduct research in whatever fashion suits them best. <br /><br />You will probably find that you search through the same set of records many times (I've done it, I"m sure we've all done it) without a way of remembering if you already looked there but that's not the end of the world. <br /><br />LorineOlive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-78117209916326834032012-09-16T09:08:33.707-04:002012-09-16T09:08:33.707-04:00Wow... knowing people actually keep research logs ...Wow... knowing people actually keep research logs shows how unprofessional I am. I do use the To Do items in RootsMagic and utilize GenSmarts to give me hints on where to search. I think Ancestry.com has something similar as well. And then I have my blog to post when I have a successful find, and sometimes when one was a bust.<br /><br />Now that I've listed what I use to trigger my searchingDevon Noel Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440829254298661495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-34525539590559075842012-09-11T18:41:45.732-04:002012-09-11T18:41:45.732-04:00I don't use one (exactly) because I figure goi...I don't use one (exactly) because I figure going back over the same territory might yield more results second or third time around. <br /><br />But IF I was to get organized in this way, OneNote might work well. It's got main divisions: Notebooks, Sections and Pages, so plenty of ways of splitting by families, record types, etc and I think the latest version can be mobile.<br /><br />I JLhttp://www.jgen.ws/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-45605081641971006042012-09-11T13:05:13.084-04:002012-09-11T13:05:13.084-04:00I do like online research logs but it is a continu...I do like online research logs but it is a continuing battle to get it all in there.
