3 Mar 2020. On my computer desk you will find, of course, computer, then a composition book and a container of mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens. The pencils and pens form a small collection, some of my favorite things. When you research in a state archive and our National Archive you Must use pencil. So that is when I started my collection. The composition book is at the ready to jot down data while working on genealogical interest or any other data I do not want to forget. Recently, I came to the end of the book, thought I'd go through it before filing it away or throwing it away.
Not only am I a genealogist but also publish my findings in Albums using both scrapbooking materials and some digital pages; and of course, lots of photographs, facts and descriptions. I use Quotes and List to enhance my subject(s). The following is an exercise found in one of my scrapbooking magazines: The list is in my composition book.
