TMG Source Templates-Mills Categories. Listed below are the Source Templates designed by Wholly Genes arranged according to citation category names given in Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co, 1997).

The user should then make changes as thought best for the particular source document being referenced. Citing Sources. Genealogy Citation Guides.

For the most part, the citation examples below are modeled after traditional citation styles. Some Helpful General Guidelines: More Ways I Use Evernote for Genealogy. I started using Evernote about 18 months ago (you can read my original post on the subject here) and I wanted to revisit the topic with some tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way, as well as highlight some new features.
Evernote really has become more and more useful over the last 18 months, as the company has added new features, acquired companies, and as third parties have built apps to work with Evernote. Some of the features I’m finding most useful are: Notebook Stacks Stacks are a way to organize notebooks into groups. If you are a OneNote user, Evernote stacks are akin to a OneNote notebook with Evernote notebooks like OneNote pages. Note Links You can imbed links from any Evernote note into any other note (and into outside apps, like calendars, I understand). This screen shot shows the master note with links back to individual web clips. To-Dos Evernote has had checkboxes that let you make to-do lists for quite awhile.

The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy. The National Archives. Technology & Tools. As most of you may know by now, I have had what might best be classifies as a “passel of troubles” with FTM 2012; not the least of which has been in establishing and maintaining a stable, updated, environment. (For more on that please read: FTM 2012 Surprises?!? And Family Tree Maker 2012 running on a Virtual Machine & Win XP ). After about 2 weeks of work, I have found what seems to be a solution. Yay! Perhaps that means I am tenacious… I rather prefer to think I am not stubborn , but maybe I am that, too!??

Okay, welcome to The National Archives, particularly those of you who’re on their very first visit.
I’ll assume, because you’re in this talk, that you’re at least fairly new to family history, or you’re not new but you think maybe it’s time you found something out. It’s an introduction to family history it’s not a blow-by-blow ‘how to’ – we do have other talks and lots of support on how to go about it precisely. It’s more a set of general guidelines and principles that, if you’re new, my driving instructor said, it’s just as easy to cultivate good habits as bad ones, and if you do things the right way from the beginning, and it becomes second nature, you will appreciate it in the future.
