Quote
"Genealogical research is like a treasure hunt for the pieces
of a circular jigsaw without outer boundaries. As the search extends into earlier
and earlier generations, the number of potential surnames of interest doubles
at each step, and each introduces a fresh set of collaterals inviting
attention. In taking and arranging notes, think big from the start. Collect,
when you have the chance, facts which could become of interest later and store
them in a flexible manner which is adaptable to widening interests."
