RE: IRDP - how to save your research - lesson 5
Good article @ravenruis. I will check out your earlier articles when I get time. My parents have done a lot of work on our family tree. Unfortunately it is some what of a mess. Lots of paper. Some online trees. A computer program. Computer literacy is a problem for their generation. I have occasionally tried to help but it is overwhelming to go behind them and try to figure it out. How you will save your research should be something you put some serious thought into before you accumulate a lot of research :)
Often you just don't realise what you'll need until you're sitting amongst the mess, dazed and confused .... lol.
Part of what I do for clients is help them organise their research, and some of them have researched really well over many years and just need a way to collate their collection; and one way doesn't suit everyone.
It's always nice to hear that a family has delved into their ancestry, regardless of the state of the records. :D
