Offline Genealogy Record Keeping Is Still Vital!

Every offline genealogy record you keep is vitally important. Method, not madness is the key! It will save you time and frustration if you know exactly where to go to locate those essential details you *know* you have put somewhere!

For inexpensive gifts that will prove so useful, here are a few tips:

  • Genealogy Records - these should be clear and concise but with sufficient space for all those essential details
  • Family history charts - make them interesting! There are many styles available, so look to see what would make you feel proud if displayed on your lounge wall.
  • Carry-it-with-you information - use a 'filofax' type case to carry condensed print-outs of your family tree or vital records. This will save you from having to carry lots of heavy documents when you are out researching.
  • Pre-printed data forms - they save time when collecting information from the archives.
