This turned out to be an interesting thread, and I really enjoyed hearing all the different ways people have chosen to go about this.
I find that one of the reasons this type of record-keeping becomes difficult is that it does require time, and Life itself often gets in the way. That's where I find myself now. Although I fully intended to begin tackling this project two weeks ago, some rather incredible events have occurred (extraordinarily happy ones) and I've had to put pen inventory on the back burner for a bit. I'll just say I have been searching for my grandpa's family in Europe all my adult life, and I found them — descendants of his family obviously, but family. I'll get back to pen inventory once I manage to climb down from Cloud Nine.
