I fully agree with Liz!! I also am interested in this organization
problem. I have so much info accumulated that it is impossible to find
it when I want it!!

My problem is mainly that when I go to a library or somewhere to
gather info, I am always so pressed for time that I just hurridly
write everything down in notebooks just so I can have the info!! So
what I end up with are notebooks full of info that is not organized in
any way and each page containing info on multilple surnames/lines. I
want all the info I can get at the time, yet it is so disorganized
when I get home that it just sits in my notebooks!!

How do all of you gather, and organize, your info when you go
somewhere like libraries, etc.? I usually have to do this in short,
fast blocks of time whenever I have some time available. And, often
what happens is that there is so much info and so little time that I
just write as fast as I can and there's no time to be organized.

Any help is appreciated!
Elizabeth
