Where Does that Document Fit?

From a while back..

Every record fits in a larger chain of events and records.

When you locate a document always ask yourself:

• was this document created as the result of some life event that might have created other records?
• were other documents created that might have caused this document to have been created?
• would this document have caused other records to have been created?
• what would have happened to my relative for this record to have been created?

No record was created in a vacuum. Don’t analyze it in one either.
