BTW I did write down his wife's name and the place and date of marriage. Wonder where his name came from and what it means. Also his brother Burket or Berket. I wonder about these odd names. My grandfather was named Aldra. There was a man here in Nashville about 20 years ago who specialized in telling people who odd names meant. Aldra means first. Wish he was available to do that now. I am going to have to forget everything else and find a way to put all of my genealogy sheets in some kind of order so I can find them. Any suggestions as to how to do this? When you have so many last names to deal with. I have Family Tree Maker but have not worked with it for years. That helps locate people but does not help with all the paperwork you accumulate over time. I have been doing this since 1965 and have a lot of paper. Help.

Peggy, I also have Family Tree Maker, try to keep it and paperwork data together. I use three ring binders and list each family in one (have up to 3 on some families) for the paperwork. Once in awhile I try to check one against the other.

I have thought about having cross-references. I have never gotten my Family Tree Maker up to date. I got that when I was still working. I guess that is one project I need to get back to. Trouble is I have five families to work on. I trace my mother's side, my father's side, my step-daddy's side as well as both sides on my husband's tree. He pretends not to be interested but every once in a while something will stir him up. My problem I guess is that back in 1966 I started out with a steno pad and continued that way. I did have enough sense to start one separately for my husband's family. I got my first pc mainly for genealogy and have been printing off e-mails so I will have back up on what I do. Also on the off chance that I might be able to help someone else or that it will tie in later. After almost 40 years of this you accumulate a lot. Thanks for the tip. I have gotten binders and put my mother's family in one, my father's family in one, and my husband's in another. They are full. I have box after box full of printed literature along with my notes. I have thought about having my on web page but would have to be more organized than I am now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "teresa whittemore" <harper@nctc.com> To: <TNSMITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 6:18 PM Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] Harwell and messed up spellings > Peggy, > I also have Family Tree Maker, try to keep it and paperwork data > together.
