One thing that I have noticed over the last several years is that the
amount of data recorded while researching, has no direct bearing to the
value of the data to your research at that time. If you are like a lot
of us, you record a lot of material because it looks potentially
valuable.

I have discovered over time, as I review and maybe record further Info,
that if I periodicaly review my older records, over time (maybe over a
period of years) I
will find something that I had previously overlooked or that suddenly
makes sense because of something I have learned of in the interim. I
also have found it easier and faster to review this Info if it is in a
computer data file organized by Surname and/or
by state name. Floppy disks (or Zip, CD, etc) are inexpensive when
compared to the data they contain.
