Whenever possible use a "snipping" tool, and code: birth yr, surname, given, relationship to another, ie, son of/so, spouse/sp, etc., twp, co, state, country/DE Germany, a small reference if not vital info/ WWI, V.Nam, RevWar,DAR,etc. Have not figured out how to use the "posta note" function, seems that it would help to keep small notes from getting lost. "Saving" or creating shortcuts and coding helps for reference material... unfortunately... urls do break, get lost in space, and or someone stops paying... that is why I love snipping, including the url, and the credits. Always save the credits. I would LOVE to be paperless... but the more I can store in the computer... the better. Besure to backup regularly.
