![]() This also helps me quickly see what I have and what I don’t have in terms of the basic information I want for everyone. I keep a checklist page in each of my genealogy folders. And to the right of that is the higlighted notebook page, including the title of the page, the URL where the original was located, and any tags that I have added. You can choose several ways of viewing it – this is the “mixed view”. The highlighted notebook’s index runs vertically next to that. This what my desktop version of Evernote looks like. With the ability to collect, tag and save all the cool stuff I find in my internet research, it reduces the number of times I revisit the same websites. By easily saving it off, though, I don’t have to try to remember where it was later on, when I’ve determined that the person in fact was a cousin, or brother, or whatever. I use this one when I find information that seems to be related to the family but I am as yet not sure if it belongs or not. I will usually tag by surname, record type, and location. The ability to “tag” saved clippings makes it very easy to find them again. By using this button, the URL of the page is automatically included in the note, so I can easily click on it again from my note page, and return to the exact web page I had saved. When I am at a website with text that interests me, or an image such as a photo or even an entire census record, all I need do is click on the handy Evernote icon installed along my browser bar, and a box pops up asking me what to title the saved clipping, how to tag it, and which notebook I’d like to save the page or highlighted copy to. One of the features that I really love is being able to save anything from part of a web site to the entire page. And if all devices are internet connected, your data will automatically sync without any effort on your part. You can download an Evernote ap to your mobile device, and access your data anywhere, anytime. Your Evernote account is resident online as well as on your computer so you can log in and access your information from any computer. With Evernote, you can create a folder for each project, and easily organize your notes by surname, location or however you like. ![]() ![]() Evernote is a wonderful computer tool that I love to use to organize my genealogy research projects.
