	Hi all, while I have been reading various threads it seems that a lot of you have lots of scraps of paper and duplicate certs, heres my tip for you all:- invest in several small note books, one for certs needed, when the certs have been ordered enter the date, then enter the date arrived, next keep a book for the families that you are researching, every time you find another member of the family put them on the correct page for that family, and don't for get when you were at school you had a rough book for jotting info in, well time to get another rough book and keep that for jotting info into, then you can transfer the info when confirmed into the correct book. I hope this helps you to record your hard work, and not lose it when the scrap of paper disapears. :)) Bev

	The Latter Day Saints website www(.)familysearch(.)org (remove the brackets) has forms you can download, including a family group record form which is good for grouping families together as you find them. Kate
