I think the problem is that after we've been doing this for a while we forget which records we've checked and we have hundreds of people to keep track of. That's why I'm glad I've got 5 trees on Ancestry (mine, my ex's, a family connected to my family, a specialised tree concerning the murder events in one branch, and 2 separate families I KNOW are connected to my ex's tree but I haven't yet discovered the links. It's easy to see what info I have by looking online.
But I have a vast number of ring binders and despite best efforts to keep them in order and updated....
