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 and let the imported do its magic. It will ask you to sign into your Microsoft account. It will tell you that your notebook in Evernote will be imported as a notebook in OneNote and each individual note will be imported as pages in the notebook. You can select to have your tags imported to OneNote as well. The tags will show up in each note as a hashtag {#} and they are searchable. {I did have them brought in but realized that I did not need them.}

It does take some time depending on how many notes you are importing. When it is done you will see the screen below.

To get back to where you select Evernote notes to import click on #2 on the left in the image above and start the import process over again.

In the next installment of Evernote to OneNote I will show you my setup.

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to World War II History Network and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable. You can find the database at Casualty Cards Database. Fred Thomas, my husbands great uncle, was in WWII and in the Marines. I searched the database and found : On the first page it states : While the cards for World War II through Korea are not classified, however, they can often be very graphic. Therefore, to maintain the dignity and honor of the Marines, the individual cards will only be released, upon request, on a case by case basis. To request a card, please send an email to history.division@usmc.mil or a request in writting to: United States Marine Corps History Division Attn: Reference Branch 3078 Upshur Avenue Quantico, Virginia 221...

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...

Putting Pen to Paper

Over at Anglers Rest Julie Goucher posted Planners, Notebooks & How it Came to be about her planning system. I thought I would share how I plan and keep track of everything that I do. As most of you know I use Evernote for my brain but sometimes I just have to write things down. I have always used some sort of planner. I even used Evernote for a planner for a while but I missed putting pen to paper. There are tons of options for planners. I currently use a Chic Sparrow Traveler's Notebook. It is in the Mr. Darcy Leather and the color is a retired color called Mayflower. {This was gifted to me by a wonderful person and friend...she is the best} I've also grown to love fountain pens but that is a post for another time. Inside the front cover there are some sticky pockets with clips and some business cards. On the right is a dashboard that I made and in the pocket are so...
