This is what I've been advising for years... if at a g/yard researching the X family then take heaps of photographs because further down the road you may find they married the Y family... So one gets to a brick wall attacking the X family and gets stuck but often by researching the Y family one often rediscovers the X family popping up somewhere.. You now have photos 'of use' without having to go back to g/yard. Many go..take their 3 photos and walk off... only to make new discoveries later. In Monaghan one day I took over 450 photos as everything is closed, records can't be got etc.. now I go back through them instead of having to go back and look for a g/stone. Some are on IGP which I check first, then go through sticks etc to see if I have a g/stone on them, new discoveries made only last week via photos. I just go around snapping everything then onto next g/yard then look at them when I get home...and then again when needed.
