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…
Inserting files and images into OneNote is different than attaching files in OneNote. When you attach a file, you are linking from another source to a OneNote Page. It is link to a web page, link to file on your hard drive or link to another Notebook, Section or Page, for instance. The problem with…
I have been busy behind the scenes working on updating my old OneNote posts, putting together some new posts and working through the Genealogy Do-Over Topics. The Research Log dilemma has me in a holding pattern where I am currently stuck in the topics for Weeks 3-5. Anne Faulkner’s (Ancestor Archaeology) Do-Over recap post had…
Genealogy Do-Over Week 1 — 2-8 January 2015 Topic 3: Establishing Base Practices and Guidelines I needed to do something a little different with regard to adding media and information to my genealogy software since I decided to do a separate “research” database (in Family Tree Maker) and a “sourced” database (in Roots Magic).

G is for Gather I am going to suggest a slow, steady and systematic way to input your research into your Surname Notebooks. It’s really not as daunting as it sounds. 1. Pick just one Surname to start with and focus solely on that Surname. 2. Start with the closest person related to you in…
Y is for Your Notebooks Now that you have some idea of how I am using my OneNote Notebooks, hopefully that has inspired some ideas for your own Notebooks. Some of you may still be wondering why I would want to use OneNote when I am also using Family Tree Maker. I’ve found that for…
Continuing on in my Surname Notebooks and all their quirks… I am giving you a grand tour of my OneNote Surname Notebook section by section and page by page. (Hopefully it still won’t turn into a 3-hour tour and we end up on stranded on Gilligan’s Island…) The very last Section in the Main Section…
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”…
