How can I create a blockchain for keeping records

Question

I have read a lot about how blockchain could be implemented for other technologies other than crypto currencies. I have a background in development coding and I have forked the go-ethereum source code and built it out on an ubuntu virtual machine. However, I am finding it hard to find discussions on creating blockchains for record purposes. Would I have to build a blockchain and use code to build a user interface to interact with it and instead of sending transactions to the block chain, find other data input to send to the blockchain?

​You can use an already existing Blockchain. Like Ethereum. Many are using Ethereum Blockchain network for record keeping with a few ethers as fee.

Or you could create your own Blockchain using Hyperledger Fabric. Fabric gives you the chance to create a private Blockchain, so you could control the acces. There, you can deploy the Smart Contract that you require
