Hi all
Does anyone have any advice about transcribing some records from a parish register onto a spreadsheet. It’s a while since I’ve used Excel, but my questions relate to the best way I type it in and if you can or should sort the records into alphabetical order.
So eg burial records they’ll appear in date order, so I’d set up different columns for eg date ,surname, first name, age.
. Would you suggest a different spreadsheet for every year or just keep going till all the sheets have been used up?
If I then wanted to reorder them into surname order, will all the other columns ‘ follow’ attached to the name or would it scramble it all up?
Sorry if this is basic to some of you, but as I said, it’s been a while !
Many thanks.
