Facts
When taking notes… use standard size paper, one surname per page, records source(s) so you can find it again and the date and place of your research.
[Basic Genealogy]
When you're working with census records, be sure to look at 10 families before and 10 families after the family you are researching. These folks are most likely the friends (and family) of your ancestor. They lived in community and they often moved as a group.
[Census]
Given names can have many variations in spelling as well as surnames.
