Do  you keep your genealogy notes, records, photographs and photocopies in 
piles on  your desk, on the kitchen table, or in boxes? Whether you are just 
starting out  or have been doing research for years, it is never too late 
to get your files  organized. Some genealogists work on paper, others have 
gone digital and do  everything online, but most of us can, and should, do 
both. Getting your  research organized is essential to keeping track of 
ancestors and making sure  you know where you have researched , what records you 
already have and which  ones you still need to obtain. This class will make 
you a more efficient  researcher by helping you get your genealogy organized.
