2015 Legacy Stats

Last January I did this post on 2014 Legacy statistics. This year I decided to do the same thing. What I found was very surprising to me.

My numbers did not change from last year! What?! I know I added new people to my database. Then I looked at my husbands and I lots 3 from last year! What?!

Looking at my overall stats I added 104 people and 35 marriages.

Last year I worked on sources. Cleaning up sources was my main objective and I think I accomplished that. {I have a handful that still need some work.}

This year I want to find more documentation for the people in my tree and hopefully add some more ancestors. My plan is to do what +Russ Worthington and +Randy Seaver do and mine ancestry databases. First up will be Pennsylvania death certificates.

How did your 2015 genealogy go and did you make plans for 2016?

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...

OneNote | A Look Inside

I still have a few more notes to move over from Evernote but I am loving OneNote. I keep to do lists, goals, projects, ideas, genealogy research and so much more in OneNote. So what does my setup look like? Lets take a look! {I usually use OneNote 2016 but I have tried the Windows 10 app and it works just as good.} The first screen shot below is OneNote 2016 and the second is from the Windows 10 app. My first notebook is my task management notebook. In this notebook I have my Inbox, which is my default section for incoming stuff, calendar and lists. {Emails that I have sent to OneNote and screen clips go in my Inbox section.} The next notebook is for my blog, and then the Genealogy notebook is for research notes, then I have the GBT notebook which I use for notes and reminders for GeneaBloggersTribe, the Reference notebook is for things that don't belong in one of the other notebooks, and the last notebook is the Archive. Let...
