Organize your papers

1. Gather papers together to find what's needed, and prevent loss.
        

2. Put pedigree charts, to-do lists, and results lists in one pile. Put family group records in another pile.
         

4. Put the papers about each family behind their family chart.



 * Put a person’s papers from before they are married behind their parents’ family chart.
 * After a person is married, put their papers behind the family chart where they appear as the husband and wife.
 * Keep your pedigree charts in one folder and your To Do lists and Results Lists in another.
 * You then can put the Pedigree Chart and associated papers for each family in a folder in alphabetical order by name.
 * The more papers you get, the bigger the container you will need.
