I agree wholeheartedly with Monique. Doing the reports is what is important. Where you store them and how you share them will vary. I've been doing research reports for quite a few years. They are in HTML code because I share them on my website.
Because they are buried in the notes on my website, recently I started a blog to share them more directly. I went back to some of the earlier reports to add them. I reviewed each one first. I haven't gotten very far, because each one that I review sends me off on new avenues to explore. And in the process, I have solved some of my brick walls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shirley York Anderson yor...@prodigy.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My web site: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~syafam/ http://myfamilybrickwalls.blogspot.com/ ________________________________ From: unique64 Riley <uniqu...@msn.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Mon, July 30, 2012 7:39:30 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Webinar (research plans) Paula, Everyone- professionals and hobbyists, can benefit from writing a research or narrative report. A report can help you preserve your work for yourself or others, document research results, clarify analysis and support conclusions, especially in complex cases. It also helps you see where you have "holes" in your research. Proper citations are included and both positive and negative searches. I know it does take extra effort to write a full, quality report, but I feel it pays off in many ways. There are many times that I wish I had written one after a research session to record my objectives, processes, conclusions and what I wanted to do next. I do take advantage of the To-Do's in Legacy, the note sections, and the Source Writer, but a report rounds these out nicely. I choose to type it in Word format and then I convert it to a PDF format so I can share it with others that are interested.
