[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: To all you young researchers a tip

2013-09-02 Thread Kalani N
Good tip!  I recently attended some workshops where they talked about 
boring organizing.  But when I listened, I remembered of how I was so 
unorganized, didn't document all my sources nor with dates and many, many 
years later, it's bothering me.  So the workshop on organizing would've 
come in handy for me had I known it back then.  But i was old school, i 
spent about a week reading about genealogy and how to go about doing them 
before I actually started.  I learned about how to write names, and dates 
and then read about the countries where my ancestors were from in order to 
understand a lot and know what to expect.  Eventually I learned Portuguese 
as well which of course genealogy motivated me.  That was about 23 years 
ago and I'm glad I went through that.

Now, I'm very anal with documenting all my sources to where it takes me 
awhile to enter information for one person.  But well worth it!

 everything you find and don't assume you will remember it later!!!  I am 
 coming across NOW research that I did, and did not document and can't 
 remember what I found and other researchers or now  asking lol

 One thing I am doing now is typing up all the stories my grandpa, dad, 
 aunt and uncles are telling me because my grandpa told me he regrets not 
 writing down any of the stories his mom or grandma told him.
