I decided around Thanksgiving time that I needed to get back to my regularly scheduled life and the plans I have for that life—including this blog and my family history. The thing that has previously been sucking away my time is not worth the effort I’ve been devoting to it. (I need to remember that…
I know what you’re thinking but no, it’s not quite that dramatic. Last month in response to the A to Z blogging challenge, I posted some quilt designs that I had named after females in my family tree over on my quilting blog. Letter F was a quilt design for Fanny Lulu Williamson. [How could…
Here I am going to show you how to Attach and Insert Files into [onto?] Pages in OneNote. I equate “attaching” with “linking.” I am linking to a File on my hard drive, another Notebook, Section or Page or linking to information on the web. The first place I do this in each Surname Notebook…

On to my Surname Notebooks and all their quirks… I have made 2 sample Surname Notebooks that you should be able to view on OneDrive by clicking on the OneNote Notebook icons at the bottom of this post. I know that you can view that copy online and there is also an “Open in OneNote”…
Do not start the A to Z Challenge during a week when you have no Internet for when you return you will have much catching up to do…
O is for Organizing Before going further, I think it’s a good time to ask… How do you currently keep your genealogy research organized? Or perhaps the better question is: Is it organized? [Hey, I get it… I’m a piler too! No judging here.] === When I first started with my research, I used a…
