Indexing

I'm working on my Family History book - I had to stop when my mother got sick. My first task is to work on the index. Last year I figured out how to use the indexing feature in MS Word, but there's a lot more it it than that. It's trial and error and a long process. I'm making progress, but I can see that it will take longer than I thought.

Yesterday I went through the draft of the book and sorted all the different sections so I could get better focused. I think that will help.

Just starting

I'm going to try this blog. As I write my book I continue to research and I am finding more information about my family.
Yesterday I re-checked the Irish History Family Foundation records and found the baptism record for my great grandfather: Laurence Ryan. He was baptised on April 30, 1849 and they family was living in Foilnafinoge, Co. Tipperary. Now I have to find out just where that is.
