Sarah Maria Pemberton Research Log (Birth)

Although I really liked my last blog post on Sarah, I decided that I needed a more summarized version of my findings. Luckily, my software (RootsMagic 5) has just the solution - a Research Log.  The research log allows me to keep track of all sources and repositories checked. I can even list the results of my searches so that I can compare the information in multiple sources. Here is the birth date and place research log I started for Sarah:
