  • Create a OneNote Notebook

    4 April 2014
    Organization

    Are you ready to create your first notebook in OneNote? I started with one notebook for each of my grandparents’ surnames.

Thomas Williamson born about 1803 in Manchester, England died 20 September 1849 in Rochester, Monroe, New York Margaret Pollitt born…
