	I've read through these excellent tips with interest. My tip would be to never write on scraps of paper about ANYTHING, not just genealogy, if you write in a notebook you can always find the info again. And can I just say how much I enjoyed researching at the Kendal office those years back. They let you look at the original records, often written on parchment so the writing had to fit round the imperfections. In one parish record from the 1760's, in the small space at the bottom of each page the vicar had written notes such as 'the price of corn is .. and the price of potatoes is...'. One page he wrote 'there is a sickness in the village, lots of people have had it but no one has died. The symptoms are.....'. What a fantastic historical record, I was so busy reading that I almost forgot to look for my rellies!
