However, a tree is not acceptable if it is messy. August is Family History Month so now might be a good time to consider the state of your data. If you have been researching for many years you may have begun gathering your information differently. Have you got paper records and if so are they filed in a way that can be followed by anyone who may pick up where you left off? A note in the front of your file explaining your logic could be helpful. Perhaps you were lucky enough to begin your research at a time when data became available online. This means finding “stuff” can be easy but if you don’t reference where you came by this information you may never find it again. Saving to an online tree is fine but consider also saving these documents to your computer hard drive and backing that up regularly so you always have the evidence for your facts. Finally, if you are new to researching make a plan at the start as to how you are going to save your documents and what your filing system will look like – it is very difficult and time-consuming to go back later and re-organise. For help with producing your family tree, you may like to join the Gold Coast Family History Society. For a modest yearly fee, you will have access to a comprehensive library, many worldwide subscription websites, and fellow researchers prepared to help you get started or break down any brick walls you may encounter.
