January 22 – Decide how you’ll include online keyword searches in your research log.
This is a big change in research logs since the internet was developed. Not only do you need to write down the website site, if using Ancestry, Newspapers or FamilySearch, but what secondary databases and what you inputted into the database search engine. One way, might be to do a screen shot before hitting enter and then save the file with a name that has the time and date and website in the name. Such as: Research Log – Ancestry 19 Jan 2024 12 31 pm. Then put that file name into your manual research log, so you know where to find the image you saved. Save all these images in a folder on your computer as “Research Log”.
Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
