This is cool! I haven’t seen any other site post something as helpful as this! You are so organized. That is one area of family history that I am a bit dismal at. I’ll be back, as I”m sure I will learn a lot! Gail
I agree with gapark’s comments. Love, LOVE! how you have put out so much detail about OneNote, I hope you continue to add more information about how you use and organize it. I have been using OneNote for over a year and I just love how it helps me stay organized and focus on each ancestor and on each branch of my ancestral tree.
Separate from the loving the OneNote content of your blog, I just wanted to say that your blog itself offered enjoyable reading and I love the format. Looking forward to see more from you.
I am really enjoying your OneNote system. I am looking forward to the rest of the OneNote topics. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Have you heard about Thomas MacIntee’s Genealogy Do Over? This basically what I have been doing with OneNote. While I have joined his group I will continue working in OneNote rather than starting a new genealogy program file – it is more of a Re-do or a Do Better. I spread the word to our local genealogy groups here in Central Ohio and we are all looking forward to more posts in this new year. Even if you don’t add new posts you have gotten us off on the right foot. But, I am so hoping that you will begin posting again on the remaining topics.
Welcome back!! I am also doing the Do-Over and trying to set up my OneNote Notebooks again. I just checked your blog a few days ago and wondered what happened to your informative blog. I am so glad to hear that you will be starting up again.
Thank you so much for this. You have opened up a whole new world for me with OneNote and I’m really excited to set up my Notebooks for my genealogy research. I’m wondering if you can point me in the direction to learn more about the source descriptions and source logs? I’m a bit lost as to how to fill those in.
Wow! Love the information you have shared with us. Thank you so much. I am thinking very seriously of incorporating many of your ideas into my genealogy workflow. I hope you will find the time to continue to keep us updated on your progress.
I came across your blog and it’s extremely interesting. I was in fact starting to build a Notebook as per your instructions and it occurred to me: “what if this program is no longer available to the future generation or the one after that?”. I like the idea of passing my genealogy research to my children in a digital manner but what if my current version is no longer available or compatible?
