Sorting Saturday

I have previously declared my conversion from OneNote (goodbye, farewell) to Evernote,  so the time has come for exporting and sorting. By the way I also use Dropbox for file storage.

So my Sorting Saturday post is about going through my OneNote notebooks, seeing what I have sent to them over the last few years, and deciding whether I want or need all of the notebooks.

I believe that it is fairly simple to import notebooks into Evernote and I could just import all the data and then sort it later I guess. But, as this is Sorting Saturday I have decided to sort through and hopefully cull some of the notebooks. I wonder if I will find any forgotten gems among the notes.

Just came across one item that I had forgotten, a 2nd cousin twice removed that had married twice that I knew about and died in 1969 with a third surname. It puzzled me then and now has me scratching my head again. Her second husband did not die until 1974 so she either was divorced or living with the third partner. Her christian names were Henrietta Frances Charlotte and the death certificate details are correct naming her mother as Lily.

Why did I start this sorting? Now I have another puzzle to solve - well it will keep me amused this weekend.

Spring 2014

September in Brisbane. Clear blue sky and westerly winds. Warm weather and a feeling in the air of new opportunities to come. An opportunity to clean out my family history folders, organise the research and recycle some of the paper. i don't know about you but paper seems to breed almost overnight in my office at home.

Lately I have been using Evernote for my family history - and everything else - instead of Microsoft OneNote. I had been using OneNote for a couple of years but am not a convert to Evernote. For example I went to  SLQ yesterday and took the film numbers I wanted to view in the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP) in Evernote on my smartphone. The librarian at SLQ was most interested - I  believe she is going to try it our for herself.
