something I do to organize research notes is using a 5 subject notebook. I have a misc. section for e-mail address and URLs and any other info that is generic. And then I have a section for each side of my family and my husbands; labeled mothers side, fathers side , husbands mothers side and husbands fathers side. This has really helped because my notes always got so mixed up I didn't know which notes went to which family.
