Hazel and Harold are buried next to each other in the Sorber Cemetery, Reyburn, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

Together, they raised two boys Byron and Howard. They were blessed with grandchildren and many great grandchildren who were the highlight of their lives. They were the kindest, most generous people that I have ever known.

It seems like just yesterday they were both here and we were sitting at the kitchen table eating supper together; those are some of my most memorable moments.

Happy Anniversary Baba and Pop!! I love and miss you more each day!!

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.

Evernote Tags and Notebooks | How I use them

I did a post in 2015 called Tagging and Notebooks in Evernote and since then some things have changed with my tagging and notebook system in Evernote. The image below shows what my tags and notebooks looked like in 2015. The next two image show my tags and notebooks today. As you can see I have a lot more notebooks and tags currently. The number of tags changes quite often because a lot of my tags are temporary, and I also delete notes when I am done with them. I routinely go thorough Evernote and delete notes that are no longer relevant. Once I do that I eventually have tags with no notes so I will go through my tags frequently and delete all tags that do not have any notes associated with it. Each notebook stack, except for 5 - HOUSE, 7 - TEMPLATES, and z FILING CABINET z do not have an @ tag associated with it.
