- Perhaps one can tell that one doesn’t have enough evidence when one doesn’t yet know enough to be a bit perplexed.

"When you lay these events into a timeline, make sure you view the age of your ancestor as the events occurred."
- - By Nancy Lecompte
- One of the most useful things I do is to create a timeline for each ancestor. I place every event I can document on that timeline, along with the documentation notes.
- When you lay these events into a timeline, make sure you view the age of your ancestor as the events occurred.
- It moves you away from records focus so that you can see the big picture of his or her life.
- It may provide time-holes where you could afford to fill a gap of information.
- The timeline should provide you more insight and some ideas regarding where to look next for information.
