Marine Casualty Card Database

By Shannon Thomas
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...

Evernote to OneNote | Importing Notes

Tagging and Notebooks in Evernote

By Shannon Thomas
With the Genealogy Do Over going full force there has been a lot of Evernote questions popping up and most have to do with tagging and notebooks so today I am going to share how my notebooks and tags are set up. Notebooks shown in blue box and tags are shown in green box. Inbox Stack : The Inbox notebook which is my default notebook is where everything goes before it gets tagged and moved to the correct notebook.   The To Do notebook holds all to do's both genealogy and personal and they all get assigned a reminder.  Once the task is complete they are moved to the appropriate notebook with correct tags added.   The Blog notebook is a temporary notebook that holds information and ideas for blog posts.  Once I don't need the information any more it is either deleted or moved to the appropriate notebook. Genealogy Stack :  The Best Practices notebook has citation information and information pertaining to my Legacy Family Tree genealogy program. The...
