down your thought process  Do not always assume you will
remember why you reached a certain conclusion. In analyzing an
1870 census entry for an upcoming issue of Casefile Clues, I
made some preliminary conclusions about the oldest female in the
household. In reviewing the material later, it took me another
ten minutes to "re-reach" those conclusions. It would have been
easier if I had taken the time to write down my thought the
first time.
