How I can relate to that, OC! (Though I have no idea of how many books I possess)
In the days when I was virtuous and organised, I then used to go through and x ref everything, making a note in the cover to that effect.
Now I know there's a missing book somewhere. And I'm damned if I can find that, either.
On the other hand, coming across "just in case" notes, particularly manorial is useful. And having bemoaned a lack of wills for one branch, I've just discovered a clump of abstracts I made. (Though I won't remember that in a week or so!)
