There are many reasons to organize your genealogical data, including:
- noticing clues you did not notice before;
- finding gaps in your research;
- making it easier for you to share your research;
- reducing the number of times you locate something you already have;
- making it easier for you to publish your information (if that’s your goal);
- making it easier for someone to preserve your information after your death;
- making it easier for someone looking at your information to help you; and
- saving money if you hire a professional–they will have to organize it for you before they can help.
