Thanks Derryann: I'm in the process of trying to get organized and I know now
never, never rely on your memory for anything! I purchased a book call "Cite your
Sources" and it really is teaching me to do it right. Someday, if we ever put
these things into books or something, this is really, really going to help. We
need to be exact about where we get our information and we really need to find a
system that works for us in keeping everything in order whether it be alphabetical
by surname, locality, etc. and I think cross-referencing is a must. Thanks again
for the reminder. Linda Kay
