I am not quite sure I know what you mean, a profile sheet, but, many of us record every detail we can get, including confirmations, etc. I don't think it is stamped in gold anywhere what you should record or not, I always figure, it is sorta an individual thing, it is my data base, I get to decide if I want to include specific data. If you are doing your research primarily from a medical data point of view, then, I would record what I can. You will find some living souls are ok with telling you about thier afflictions, and others will clam up and not tell a thing. You must honor their decision on whether they care to share. Have fun, good luck on your record keeping. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 8:16:47 PM Subject: [NYERIE] Record keeping on Family Members- Help-need a opinion I am starting to get everything together and fill in a profile sheet for each individual in my family tree , Right now I am filling in the blanks for the First & Second and 3rd generation in States who are aIl deceased .
