  • Digital Sticky Notes

    11 December 2022
    Organization

    I have been working (almost daily for the last three months) on Zittel Zygology mentioned in this post. The idea of working on connecting family lines for two DNA matches has exploded to epic proportions. I am currently working on connecting lines for 20 known DNA matches to my Zittel line. It looks a bit like…

  • ON2016 and ON for Win10

    23 June 2022
    OneNote

    A reader contacted me recently to ask the how my notebooks look in OneNote for Win10. I’ve taken a few screen shots of the same page in my Schraven notebook to show you a comparison. The main difference for me, and why I prefer ON2016, is that my Sections are shown across the top of…

  • Research Plan for Johannes Zittel

    2 May 2022
    Research Plan

    In the ON Templates Section of the Surname notebooks, there is a template for a Research Plan. (A special thank you to Christine Sisko Clause for letting me borrow heavily from her original template to create mine all those years ago.) It’s rather fancy-pants and I have used it on occasion. I like using it…

  • The Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker

    22 May 2020
    OneNote

    [Disclaimer: There is no candlestick maker involved in this story. It just sounded good.] I found out that I come from a long line  of bakers in Preuschdorf, France. (Four generations!) And just an FYI, the baker’s daughter married the butcher in Buffalo. This post is actually about the Timeline Template I created in OneNote…

  • Genealogy Generosity and Gratitude

    14 April 2020
    Research Plan

    There is much in my life that I am grateful for — family, friends, everyone’s health and the fact that at least one person in all five of my family’s households currently has an income. But during this stressful time of uncertainty, I need to do more to keep my mind occupied with something rather…

  • Intro to my Research Quandaries notebook

    10 April 2020
    OneNote

    View on OneDrive Research Quandaries Notebook READ THIS FIRST Let’s just dive right into the notebook. The Research Quandaries notebook you can see on OneDrive is not how mine currently looks. (Of course!) In the blank notebook, I have set up the first few Sections after the Inbox to show you examples of how to…

  • Going a little quackers during the quarantine?

    7 April 2020
    OneNote

    Let’s do some genealogy! We’ll also suspend reality and pretend that it hasn’t been five years since I’ve written a blog post… Well, I have written a few in my head but was too busy being a caregiver to people in two separate households to get them posted. On the research side of things, there…

  • Gen Do-Over: Cycle 2 Week 2

    14 April 2015
    OneNote, Organization, Research Plan

    If you would like to view in PDF, it’s here Following up on my post for Cycle 2 Week 1, here is my new workflow chart. Or should it be work flowchart? (Whatever.) It is a simplified version of the chart I originally posted here during the first cycle of the Genealogy Do-Over. This one…

  • Genealogy Do-Over Cycle 2

    9 April 2015
    OneNote, Organization

    I decided to go through the 13 week Genealogy Do-Over for the second cycle that began on 3 April. I got stalled in the first cycle around weeks 3-5 and then finished up by picking and choosing to do only some of the topics for the remaining weeks but never blogging about it. The Do-Over…
