Read and Refresh - the 2 R's when it comes to family history

With a nice strong coffee in hand and my favourite recliner chair wound back I made a start on my re-reading of my records and files. Two hours later, I was still going and decided I needed to put a halt to it as it was getting close to tea time and hungry mouths were calling me.



What I found is that I am quite organised as to how I store my hard copy files but its my online data that needs some sort of  system. What a must this is in the world we live in, I need to be able to access this data as fast as possible, not search and go through a mountain of discs to find what I want.


Do I use an external hard drive or copy everything over to my Dropbox account. ????
I will need to check out other storage options at a later date, but now I need to make a decision as to which way to go. I am leaning towards Dropbox because I can access that on both my phone and tablet.

Going through my hard copy files brought out many emotions. One being WOW, I have actually amassed quite a lot of information.
I also came across a few pages of Nans infamous Snake Stories, what a read, she was indeed a brilliant story teller and writer. Hopefully you can have a read here with page 1 shown.


So my brain is now familiar again with where I am up to in my research and what's missing.


The next process is to set out a research plan to empower myself with the updated resources so I can follow along with my missing links.
