How I Use Microsoft OneNote for My Genealogy Research
Open and Download the Surname Notebooks or the Research Quandaries Notebook
READ THIS FIRST
Microsoft has made some changes to the way notebooks can be shared on OneDrive. I believe you can view my notebooks in OneDrive without being signed into Microsoft following the links I have provided. However, you will need to be signed into your Microsoft account before you can open these OneNote notebooks on your computer. Once they are opened on your computer, they will be READ ONLY Sections and Pages. You will not be able to edit them.
In order to edit the Sections and Pages in OneNote, you will need to create a new OneNote notebook and COPY the Sections and Pages to your new notebook. (Right click on the Section/Page and choose Move/Copy.) Once you have done that, you can close the Read Only notebook. You should now be able to edit the Sections and Pages in your new notebook.
