The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast


May 11, 2020

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about organizing and keeping track of the names you find on records that don't fit into your family tree. The friends, associates, and neighbors of your ancestors are important to know and research, but where do you record your findings? Can you add them to your family tree software? We discuss this question and more. Tune in to hear how you can organize your ancestor's FAN club in using research notes, evidence analysis chronologies, timelines, research logs, Airtable, NameandPlace.com, Legacy Family Tree software, and more.
