Evernote Reminders...Part 2

You can find my first post here: How I Process Death Certificates Using Evernote Reminders

To day we will look at different ways to sort and view your reminders.

If you click on Notes this will give you all of your notes in Evernote (#1 in the image above) and it will also give you a list of all of your reminders (#3 in the image above). If you click on the cogwheel (#2 in the image above) you will find your options for sorting your reminders (see the image below.)

I believe the default is to sort them by notebook but you can also sort by reminder date (in image below)

In the image below they are sorted by upcoming reminders in each notebook.

In the image below they are sorted by reminder date showing all upcoming reminders but not by each individual notebook. This is the way I prefer to see mine. You can also choose to show any recently completed reminders.

You can also view your reminders from within individual notebooks. The image below is my Genealogy To Do notebook in my Genealogy stack. You can see the list of reminders above the notes in this notebook. The same cogwheel is there for you to sort your reminders.

You can also search for notes with reminders using Evernote's powerful search feature. To find any note with a reminder that has been completed in the last 7 days you would use reminderDoneTime:day-7. In the image below is my one note completed in the last 7 days. You can see the date that the reminder was completed by the alarm icon; the date has a line through it (the green box to the right of image below.)

reminderOrder:* -- gives all notes with a reminder

reminderTime:day -- gives all notes with a reminder for today

reminderTime:day+7 -- gives all notes with a reminder in the next 7 days

I have not used Evernote's search feature very much with reminders so I am sure there are other ways to search for reminders that contain certain tags etc.

My next post will be about viewing your reminders on your calendar...I LOVE this!

Until next time...happy ancestor hunting!

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...

Just a Little Brain Surgery

Going home today! Thursday, August 23, 2018. Monday, August 21, 2018 I had brain surgery to hopefully fix the pain I have been having from the blood vessel wrapped around my Trigeminal nerve. To read more about Trigeminal neuralgia click here . The Trigeminal nerve is a nerve that runs from the brain stem to the face. The procedure that I had done is called microvascular decompression So far so good...the pain seems to be gone. Morning of surgery for my MRI brain mapping. And my lovely incision. There are about 13 staples in my head. Thursday, August 23, 2018. I am feeling okay. There is not a lot of pain; mostly burning and itching from the start of healing. I am told that I cannot do much for 6 to 12 weeks (at first I was told about 2 weeks and a much smaller incision). I guess this leaves more time for genealogy and crafting while I recover. And lets face it...no housework for 12 weeks is wi...

You can search for notes created or updated on a specific day, 30 days ago, this month, last year, etc. The image below shows notes created last week using created:week-1 By using created:day or updated:day where day is replaced by any of the following day terms below will give you the notes you are looking for. Day Term Use with created:day or updated:day Date 20141215 or 20140407 Today day Yesterday day-1 30 days ago day-30 This week week Last week week-1 This month month Last month month-1 This year year Last year year-1 You can also search for notes by source by using the following: To Find Search Syntax Email source:mail.smtp Web page source:web.clip Mobile source:mobile.* Application source:app.* Delicious s...
