... making a long list (over several pages) of generations of people with the same names (mostly Marys, Williams and Elizabeths) and carefully ripping off the pages of the note pad and putting them to one side.   Knocking them onto the floor where they went everywhere ... and once picked up, realising the pages hadn't been numbered ...  ::)


I use a hardback note book nowadays ...

Finding you keep muddling two people with similar names and finding lots about the wrong one, whom you haven't found a link to your tree.
