Genealogy Tip - Always Check the Back

When gathering information always check the back for more information. Whether it be a photo, tombstone, document, picture hanging on the wall or your grandfather's rocker always check for more information. When photographing or scanning an item create a note stating the pertinent information and that it is side one of two or side two of two. Place this note so that it is scanned or photographed along with the item. This will keep the two sides together.
