Thanks Ann and Pat, I do print the ones that I am sure pertain to the relative I am researching at the moment. And I save the others in a folder in my computer. I am just getting so much paper accumulated and things saved that I feel like I'm getting buried. I'm trying to get myself to be more organized so as to not get completely buried. It's all so interesting. I have been to the Rootsweb site before. I think that's how I found this mailing list. I guess I had forgotten about using the search or browse part of the mailing list.

I have a notebook with tabs for surnames and they're all in there. On cold winter nights, I read through them to see if I can find new clues. Otherwise my computer would bog down.

Louann, I don't like to use the archives to find something I know I'll want to see again. Takes too long to find things there. In my notebook, I'm pretty particular about what I print. It has to be from a contact I don't want to loose or info that has some actual fact to it that pertains to my line. You're right, it's easy to get buried in paper. I have notebooks for all my surnames that have enough paperwork for. And I try to file regularly but I'm way behind right now....new grandson. ----- Original Message ----- From: "louann creasy" <jcreasy@cfl.rr.com> To: <mdallega@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] Organizing emails > Thanks Ann and Pat, > I do print the ones that I am sure pertain to the relative I am > researching > at the moment.
