"Using Evernote & One Note for Genealogy” 1:30
Evernote and OneNote are great note taking applications that can be shared among computers, laptops, tablets and cell phones. Learn the differences between the two and the many ways you can use these programs in your genealogy research including keeping track of possible relatives, figuring out complex logic and keeping location information.
Our Speaker: Grace Wilfong
Grace Wilfong has been researching her own genealogy for over 20 years. She has also been the President of the Northville Genealogical Society for many of those years. Grace has helped many people with their research, has taught quite a few classes and is the editor of their society’s book “Genealogy Research using 21st Century Techniques”, an excellent reference book. Although not a professional genealogist, Grace has kept up with many of the techniques and strategies and is continually learning and passing on information.
“Family Search Part 1” 3:15
Learn how to improve your skills at using www.familysearch.org. This is the first of a two part series on using familysearch.org.
Our Instructor: Mike Gerding
