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…
[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…
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…
I currently have four surname notebooks set up although I am working only in the one for now. There is one notebook for each of my grandparents’ surnames. Working in only one surname notebook at a time is for my own sanity. I am concentrating on going back through and documenting my direct line ancestors…

The free access appears to be for records in the UK, not access to all Ancestry records. I edited the post to reflect this change. This weekend Ancestry is offering free access to their UK records. I…
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). And…
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…
P is for Printing The easiest way to add a file−document, PDF, photo, genealogy chart−is to use the Print Function in the program where you are viewing the document. If you would like to “see” the file on a Page in your Surname Notebook, this is the simplest way to accomplish that. One of the…
