This word wrapped in odd places. Just to clarify:
1) year year of record
and
2) 1700's 1800's 1900's these columns are to identify
possible records for a class since some record years might give clues to
a different period (i.e.: 1900 census shows 1880-1900 birth info for
those still living); I put an "X" in the appropriate column
Also, I omitted other surnames. In that column, I place witnessess and
neighbors with no known relationship at the time. They may later be
proved as relatives.

Dawn,
Would you be kind enough to elaborate on how you set up your Excel
files? I use the MRIN system, and I would very much like to see how
your Excel files work.
Thanks,
Jim

Personally, I use to file by MRIN. After some computer problems, I
ended up with new MRINs. Not good. Now I'm beginning to assign a
number to a document and post descriptive info into an Excel file
so I
can easily search to find a doc by location, year, type, given name,
surname, etc. I am also starting to move from general notes
(i.e.: DOS
PAF) to source, events, & notes. The source includes a file ID
where I
can put my assigned document number.
