David....If only you knew..!!!
I could paper the house with scraps of notes and other bits and pieces collected over the years ..and not filed anywhere but in my head...I am at present sifting through paperwork from 1998 looking for family details I Know I have ..somewhere ... but where I put them is the problem...Yes it must be wonderful to be organised ... but ...maybe one day...

Erinobragh1916, In the early days of my family tree search I had a desk covered in

bits of paper including jotters with sections of my tree. I even bought a roll of lining wall paper to put then all on the same sheet. O the stop start plans. This all was discarded, thrown out when I changed address, then had an accident. All I had to do was to have put all my tree's members on the GR provided family tree. Too easy for
this man. The cause of so many restarts, Again I apologise to all I haven't thanked
who did help. :-) <3

David,
I class myself as organised.
I visited the records office on Wednesday and found loads of missing stuff to add to my tree.

I wrote lots of notes but I also knew that I had to add it to my tree as soon as I got home on Wenesday evening
By Thursday I wouldn't have remembered what the notes meant!

None of us are perfect.

I have noticed while searching that there was poverty in Northern Ireland
Large family with high incidence of deaths in childhood. And wives dying young.
