Organizing Your Genealogy Video
This has been a week of firsts. I conducted a Zoom class on Organizing Your Genealogy a few days ago for about 16 participants. I was pretty nervous about technological issues, but it went very smoothly. I feel much more comfortable now about offering classes digitally!
I intended to record the class as well as I had several people who were interested in attending, but were not able to due to one reason or another. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to push the record button, so that didn’t happen.
So, today I sat down and recorded the class as a test to see how it works. Somehow it turns out shorter when I am not talking to actual people.
I would love for you to watch the video and give me your feedback. Email me at novygenealogy@gmail.com, and I will send you the handouts that go along with the video.
Where Did I Put That? Organizing Your Genealogy Research
My next class, Where Did I Put That? Organizing Your Genealogy Research will be held on June 25, at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom. If you would like to join the class, just send me an email at novygenealogy@gmail.com and I will send you a link!
Free Download – Research Checklist PDF
Working as a genealogist, I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of information I find. Then I have to dig through the piles of paper or digital files to find a particular piece of information or to determine whether I have already found certain data. To help myself keep up with what I know about a particular person, I created a form to record what I know on it. This Research Checklist helps me see what I already know at a glance and is a good visual to see what types of information I don’t have yet.
