Michael, in trying to get my head around this concept and see how I could
use it, I have a couple questions:

What sort of details do you include in M2? From what I can tell:

M1 = where to search, e.g. a birth index at a court house or something like
that
M2 = what details?
M3 = why search here, e.g. the person was probably born there or something
like that

Do you include any date info?

Do you print out your Nil task tags so you know not to check there again? It
sounded like you only print the Find tags.

Thanks for your help.
