Hi Susan you wouldn’t be researching Patrick HUGHES & Martha HAYDEN by any chance would you. Could this be our lucky day.

Thanks for the great resource! I enjoyed your session on Research in Southern States at RootsTech 2021! Very helpful.
Alison Roper-Hall
Thanks for this. I found your sessions on Pruning and Grafting at RootsTech Connect 2021 very clear, useful and inspiring. This is the reason I just searched for a research log template, which brought me back to you! I am in Birmingham UK, by the way!
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your message! I’m glad you enjoyed the session. Good luck with the template -fun to meet another UK genealogist.

Which family tree software do you recommend for a beginner?
We recommend choosing one of the ones we talk about in this article: https://familylocket.com/3-reasons-to-have-personal-genealogy-software-and-how-to-choose/
You can also hear our podcast about it here: https://familylocket.com/rlp-27-personal-genealogy-software/

I enjoyed your podcast on Evidence Analysis in a Timeline and hope it will help me with some of my same named relatives. Now I think I understand research logs a bit more and hope to start using them (finally!!) now that I have a template, not to mention better source citations. Looking foward to more of your information
