Getting the Most Out of Evernote for Genealogy Research

Lecture Description

“Evernote is a cross-platform, freemium app designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving.” (Wikipedia). It has been my main go-to information and research organization tool since 2009. Anything I need to document, organize, or remember goes into Evernote. It is invaluable for research planning, for logging my research steps and progress, to take on research/road trips, for capturing and retaining what I learn at conferences and institutes, and helping me make better sense of both my paper trail and DNA research.

Colleen Greene has a horrible memory and an obsession with staying organized–Evernote helps with both. This session covers the basics to get you up and running, but also includes features, tips, and use cases from which experienced users will benefit.
