You will be consulting many records and sources to collect new information, the trickle of details collected from the family will be like a drop in the ocean, the information will quickly turn into a flood. To avoid the inevitable chaos and confusion of lots of scattered bits of information about each ancestor and family all you need to do is keep simple records. Keep records from the start so that you can see what information you have got (so you never do the same research twice by mistake), which records you have been in (note which were no use) this way you can see easily what you need to go and look for next. One useful record is a family tree, but being rather limited in size and the amount of detail, what you will need to go with it are records for each individual and family. for more click here
