The Familiar… Grocery stores or genealogy programs

In another post I compared my local Walmart with the new Publix and Lin responded that she preferred her co-op. I think some of it could be that we prefer that which is familiar and the same is true with grocery stores and genealogy programs.
I had #1 in 1991. I had dabbled [...]

Gensmarts…

Let me first say I like this program and have used it since pretty much the beginning. I rarely use the TO DO LIST function in Gensmarts, but prefer the CUSTOMIZE RECORDS FEATURE. But today’s blog is about using the TO DO LIST function, with filters to narrow down the suggestions.
Today’s blog is [...]

In Search of Collaterals…

It’s been said that if you can’t find an ancestor, hop on the collateral train.
I have looked for the parentage of George L. Gee for 20 years. Nothing, Nada, more brick walls than you can count. He currently has 14 parents in TMG that are marked Father-Not (This person is NOT his [...]

Genealogy Productivity

I have a fun week coming up. Only have to work a few hours on Monday and a few on Tuesday and then I am off for the holidays! I am looking forward to a little genealogy free time. Today I am making the most of a cold Sunday by working on Marriages.
First [...]

To Do Lists

Most productive people will tell you they use To Do Lists. I am a big fan. In fact, since I use Outlook 2007 for my email reader, I keep my personal to do list in Outlook. Because tasks can be made to repeat at regular intervals, I can check off a task, and [...]

My Research Log

As you probably realized by now, I use the Master Genealogist as my computer genealogy program. I am a big fan.
A few years ago I really got out of the data cleanup business from my import from Ultimate Family Tree and was able to really begin researching. Now when I say researching, I [...]

Why I love TMG utility

If you are a big user of The Master Genealogist, like me, you know that there are times when you want to preform a task globally and nothing does that better than TMG utility by John Cardinal.
Over the years, I have set up Name tags for women after they married to make it easier to [...]

Well, this is progress

Been working on my genealogy tonight. Added two marriage images, and two census tags. Took 5 hours. And they weren’t even my ancestors. According to TMG we aren’t even related. SIGH Don’t have a clue why they were in my database. At this rate, I will never find my third [...]

Modern Genealogy

I didn’t do much genealogy pre computers. I grew up in the computer age, and so it was natural when I started doing genealogy to get a computer. My first computer just use EMACS and a simple word processing program to allow me to type in the family tree. When I found someone or [...]
