One thing I like about it is the Task feature. For each person, you can keep an electronic list of research tasks to do. But thanks to a helpful researcher at the Computer Interest Group, last spring I learned you can also sort these lists by keyword. He puts county names in the keyword field whenever he creates a task. Later, he can pull up a list of all tasks to do in a given county! I am using this trick again this week. My great-grandfather&#8217;s first wife owned land in Trego County, Kansas, and recently I contacted the courthouse to find out if her estate had been probated there. The answer was &#8220;no&#8221;.\u00a0 So I will create a new task that includes the Trego County keywords to remind myself to look at the land records there. Someday.
