Don't believe everything u read on net. Especially at worldconnect(rootsweb) or family search(mormons). You never know where they got their information. A book of the 1880 Sumner County Tn. has my ancestor Joseph freeland list as Joespeh Freeling. And family search.com has his father and grandfather born the same year in their records

I agree with Faye and others.
I dont know how much stuff I have and no idea
where it came from in my early years before I knew what I was doing.
Then in 1997 I got a computer and had to learn all the things that are
part of research with a computer. I too spent HOURS before I was told
about the Search and Find feature. I am STILL learning the computer.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. I too have learned to add the URL to
pages I get on the internet. AND TO PRINT OUT copy of things I want
as I have had three major crashes and lost so much material I had stored
in email and files.
BACK UP YOUR FILES OFTEN too! BACK UP Your Family Files often
store a copy online somewhere.

Documentation .... to me the biggest mistake I made as a newbie was *blush* not documenting resources. Came
back later had tons of info and no idea where had found it *blush*

Another goof I made was spending hours and hours reading LONG LONG documents and pedigrees til someone pointed
out to me the edit/find tool thingy at the top of my screen, would search and find for me any name or phrase
for me
