For a resource that you've started to use, make a To-Do item from
the Resource Guidance Centre and edit the To-Do to indicate where
you're up to eg - you've found the GRO reference so just need to
order the certificate when you have the spare cash.
Re irrelevant repositories - I think we need a Location of Researcher
option to remove irrelevant repositories. People all over the world
may be researching English ancestors and libraries all over the world
have resources - but we can only physically go to the ones where we
are. However, to do that, we may need a two tier repository system.
Top-level repositories where the original is held and the other
multiple repositories where copies may be seen. Although I'm in
Australia and can't visit Archives in London, I like to know that's
where the originals are.
Re already having a pay for resource -
Why not just smile every time you get that and look up your CD? - or
use the Ignore under the Options button if you've already exhausted
the relevant info on the CD?

Hello
I have v6 and I think the Research Guidance idea is great! :o)
However, I would also like to ask: is there a way of editing it? I
am talking specifically about repositories. For instance, I am
English, my ancestry is English, so I really do not need references
to repositories such as the Library of Congress, University of
Michigan etc. :o)
An example: I possess a CD of the 1861 census for one of my
(English) counties of interest. I would like to put myself down as
a repository, since I possess the CD, not the company that produced it!
Another example: When I look up the reference in civil registration
for a certificate, I often do not have the money to purchase it
there and then. So, I keep the registration reference for when I DO
have the money. So could I somehow put on the Research Guidance the
fact that I have looked on FreeBMD or whatever and got the
reference, so I know I have only gone halfway and still need to
purchase the certificate?
If there is already a way of doing this editing, could someone
please let me know?
