A source summary is a helpful way to be able to refer quickly
to information you have found for a particular family and
the sources of that information. Keep a separate source
summary of information found for each
family group chart.

More Information:
A research log (source
summary) can prove to be the most valuable
forms you work on. It is here that you
record the sources you have consulted and
the information you were seeking. By being
diligent in working on this form, you will
save yourself countless hours retracing your
steps. It is wise to keep a log for each
person you are researching-one that notes
what you were looking for, where you have
looked, and what you have found. While it
may seem overwhelming at first, it soon
becomes second nature.
The source summary is a PDF file and you may need to
