This presentation helps you put your family history research in order. Can’t find the records you know you have? Lost in a sea of digital files and paper? Let an archivist be your guide. Learn effective strategies to organize your research and link digital and paper records, using the same principles as professional archivists. No need for color codes, numbering systems, or complicated schemes with this archives-based system. And when your records are organized, you can spend more time on the things that matter: finding more ancestors.
