I found a new cheat sheet today for Evernote.  It has been added to my Evernote Genealogy notebook.  Below is a screen shot of the cheat sheet. The cheat sheet was found at Cheatography .  The cheat sheets are free; you can also create your own. This particular sheet was created by ferdipeeters on 22 April 2017.  The cheat sheets are licensed under a creative commons license.  You can view it here . Also, you can find the pdf in my shared genealogy notebook or by going to this link to download the pdf. I am in no way affiliated with  cheatography.com  I just really enjoy the simplicity and ease of use of their cheat sheets.
