July 12 meeting "Basic Questions"

How to integrate Evernote, spreadsheet  

and genealogy 101

Three questions:

How do YOU use a spreadsheet?

How do YOU use Evernote?

How do YOU begin genealogy 101?

Basic questions to everyday genealogical research will be our topic for the July 12, 2015 Our Genealogy Group meeting. The program will be moderated by Selma Blackmon, Vicki Evans and Rosemary Fischer.

Come prepared to take active participation. Bring up to eight recent surnames, location, date and migration. My examples in a simple table are:

Surname	Location	Date	Migration	Researcher
COUCH	LaSalle Co, IL	1856-1917	CT, N.Y., IL	Selma Blackmon
SCHULER	Will Co., IL	1840 to present	Germany, OH, IL	Selma Blackmon
my DUNHAM line is more than three generations back, but I am actively researching them
DUNHAM	WI	1850-1930	N.J., N.Y., OH, WI	Selma Blackmon
or my DUNHAM and COUCH family in N.Y. would be listed as
DUNHAM	Oneida Co., N.Y.	1800-1860	R.I.	Selma Blackmon
COUCH	Oneida Co., N.Y.	1800-1860	CT	Selma Blackmon

We will make a group spreadsheet using your shared information. Everyone will have access to this data. Facts already provided by members will be in the database and ready for additions or corrections.

We plan to demonstrate how to use a spreadsheet, how to actively research using Evernote and how to begin the genealogy process. Plan to share how you use these programs.
