I use the To Do list for my research items, requests, etc. In the general notes I put things like obituaries, newspaper articles, Research on localites that I have needed to clarify locations, etc. In the research notes I put things that I come across in the actualy research like differences in spelling (as well as putting in the aka), thoughts on research, etc. I know some people that use the research notes to put their research log into it, list the sources that they have searched and the results, etc. I hope this helps.

I'm wondering what the difference in the research notes for each individual and the the To-Do list for an individual. I have been putting things that I needed to research for an individual in the research notes and not the To-Do list. At first I didn't think that it was a big deal because I thought that I would be able to run a report on all peoples research notes, but I can't find out how if you can. So, I'm thinking that using the To-Do list would have been better since I can view and print those easily. How is everyone keeping track of the items you need to research? The research notes or the To-Do list? Also, if research notes is not the correct place for future research items, then what is the research notes for?
