I know how you feel Jill...............I spent almost 3 days sorting out bits of paper, certificates etc.

10 days later I have just unearthed another draw full of yet more bits of paper with notes scribbled on them................I daren't throw them away as one of them might just solve one of my many mysteries! lol

I would like to print out the whole tree but it's a fat sideways tree and it would be huge.

Think I might try wallpaper!!

with my family tree maker it might suggest say 90 pages to print out the whole lot, but those pages that have nothing on, are discarded.....and may actually only use 50-60.....

I print each head of family and his wife/children details which I have on Family Tree Maker.

I don't print it as a tree so I can add more notes which BIL will be interested in.

I just highlight the person on each family view and he can track those backwards to see the direct ancestor line.

I was a really good girl yesterday Jill. I printed off each family view and attached the census records, copy certs and just have additional info left to add. This is for aged BIL and I want to finish it before his next visit so I have been spurred on.

As for the rest of my trees (I won't mention the piles of paperwork spread everywhere)..lol

Decided to catch up on the family tree filing ... That's a job in itself as was definitely out of hand and messy.

Trouble is, I'm still only halfway through and have a huge TO DO list 'cos I keep coming across odd bits and pieces that need sorting out properly ...

grrr.
