2016 Goals

This year I am setting goals instead of making resolutions.  Goals seem like less pressure than making resolutions.

In 2016 I wan to :  1. Get organized {not only in my genealogy life but in other areas of my life}, 2. Do more genealogy, 3. Learn more {by watching more webinars}, and 4. I want to blog more {I want to tell more stories and share genealogy with others}.

With some help from the genealogy community I am hoping to accomplish my goals for 2016.  +Tessa Keough at the LVUG Community at Google+ posted a short video about genealogy plans for 2016.  I am taking her advice and planning to read, write, or watch something genealogy every day.  I am also hoping +DearMYRTLE 's Organization Lists will help keep things going for 2016.

I spent the last two days rearranging, organizing, and cleaning my office in preparation for the fun genealogy year ahead.

What are you hoping to achieve in genealogy in 2016?

How I Use Evernote for My Genealogy.

NOTE: 2 Feb 2014 -- Link updated to shared notebook ______________________________________________________________________ Today I did a Google+ hangout on air about  Evernote for Genealogy .   Once I watched the video I saw that I was not a very good cameraman! Hopefully this will clear up any questions you may have. How I use Evernote for my genealogy. I use Evernote to store everything including my genealogy research. You want to use Evernote in a way that makes sense to you.  Tags, notebooks, no tags or no notebooks; do whatever works the best for you. Notebooks  (the  blue  box) Notebooks are sorted alphabetically so if there are notebooks you want at the top of your list you can use ! or @ or ~ in front of your notebook title.  In my image, for example, I have my INBOX notebook with an ! in front to keep this notebook at the top of the list.  I use a ~ to keep my GENEALOGY notebook stacks together.  I have an ARCHIVE notebook and in front of

Stitching Update…Lots of pics

By
  LHN Family Sampler (excuse my crooked house…not sure why it looks like that) American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor.  I love stitching on this; I did however run out of the Brethren Blue.  I decided to put this down for a little while and have picked up the family sampler again. A close up! HAED Natures Mourning.  I have not worked on this in a while.  I plan to stitch on LHN Family Sampler until Friday and then work on this next. Last but not least is a little freebie that I did before Christmas.

Goodbye Evernote, Hello OneNote

By
What?  I'm leaving Evernote behind! As most of you know I have been a huge Evernote supporter from the beginning and I have had a paid membership from the beginning {until October 1st}.    There has been a lot of talk about Evernote not lasting much longer because they have been making a lot of changes and letting people go.   That got me thinking about what I would do if they did cease to exist.   I started looking at all of my options and the best option, for me, is OneNote.   I already have it on my computer and it is free.   I can use OneNote on my desktop, laptop, phone, and table all for free.   I can still use tags {a bit different than what I am use to but it works and I am finding that I really don't need that many tags}.   I can still search for things and actually find what I am looking for.   I can still clip stuff from the web using the OneNote clipper.   I'm currently working on moving notes from Evernote to OneNote.   It can be a bit tedious but t
