L is for To Do List

 Legacy has a great to do list built in.  When I first started using Legacy I used the to do list feature all the time and then I got away from it and now I am using it more and more.  I decided to incorporate the to do list into my Legacy workflow and use it every time I do research.  Now, I am also using it as a research log {more on that a later time.}

Where to find the To Do List in Legacy :

As always, there is more than one way to do something in Legacy.  You can get to the to do list by using any of these three methods below.  There are probably other ways but these are how I access it most often.

My most used method of getting to the to do list is by the icon on the Family tab.  If the icon is in color there are items on the To Do List and if it is grayed out there are no to do items. Clicking on the icon will take you to the selected individual's to do list.


Then on the My Toolbar tab I have added the to do list icon.  Clicking on this icon will take you to all of your to do items for every person in your database. {Right now mine shows that I have 443 open to do items...guess I better get moving.}


By going to the Reports tab and clicking on Other Reports and going to To-Do Report you get a lot of options on viewing and printing your to do list. You can print your entire to do list or you can select an individual and print all of their to do list.


As I have been working more with the to do list it has helped me keep track of what I am working on for each person in my database.

How do you use your to do list??

See you tomorrow for M in the A to Z blogging challenge!

Marine Casualty Card Database

While I was writing Top 10 Blog Posts for 2019 I discovered that my top post was US Marine Casualty Cards from 2014.  Wow!  {There is also an update to the original post here  where I show some more information that was sent to me.}  I went back to read the post and discovered that the links no longer work.  I did a little digging and found a link to the Casualty Card Database at the Marine Corps University website.  At this site you click on the war you want to search and download a searchable spreadsheet.  Once you locate your Marine you send an email to request the card.  There are also links to download information about what the codes mean on the cards. I also found that you can search the U.S. Marine Corps Casualty Index, 1940-1958 , at Ancestry.com.  It gives the casualty date, type, unit, and service number.  There is a link to go to another website from the Ancestry database but that link does not work. {I believe...

Evernote to OneNote | Importing Notes

A few weeks ago I posted about moving to OneNote from Evernote .  To start the process I searched for a way export my Evernote notes into OneNote.  At the OneNote website you can download a OneNote importer.  Once it is downloaded double click to open and follow the instructions to link your Evernote account.   {Save the importer because you will be using it a lot to import your notes} .    I do not suggest selecting all of your notebooks and doing them at one time, especially if you have a lot of notes.  Before I started the importer I did a little housekeeping in my Evernote notebooks and deleted notes that were not needed.  You can also create some dummy notebooks in Evernote to break up your notes into smaller chunks so you do not run into any issues when importing to OneNote.  Once in OneNote you will want to move your notes around into your new organization system. Select your notebook, select next an...
