Usually I work on these as I focus my research efforts on a particular ancestor or relative…so there are a lot of missing Logs.

The hyperlinks go to the Research Log file. Appending each Index note title with an underscore forces the Genealogy Index note to appear at the top of the list when viewing all of the notes inside of a notebook and sorting on the Title. This system is rough, ugly, meant to be quick (I’d rather spend my time doing research), and is constantly being modified. Remember… this is not supposed to be a pretty polished list or database of ancestors and relatives, like what I try to display on our family history website or in my Family Tree Maker program. This should also give you an idea of how I apply the Dollarhide ancestor coding system. Filed into the research notebook for his side of the family. The Genealogy Index for my husband’s side of the family. Keeping these Indexes in two separate notes also allows me to better organize each under the appropriate notebook: my side, or Hubby’s side ( see this post for an explanation).Īppending each Index with an underscore forces the Index note to appear at the top of the list when I am inside a research notebook and sort alphabetically by note title.

Hubby’s side “_Jeff’s Genealogy Index”.

But that list soon started getting too unwieldy, so I split these into two separate notes: Initially I tried using just a single note for both sides of the family, separating each side’s index list with a large heading (i.e., “Colleen’s Genealogy Index” and “Jeff’s Genealogy Index”), and identifying each ancestor/relative listed with my Dollarhide-inspired ancestor coding system. I actually maintain two separate Genealogy Index notes: one for my side of the family, and one for my husband Jeff’s side. If you recall from my post about Research Logs, the main reason for my Evernote system is that I wanted the simplest, easiest, most accessible workflow possible across all of my devices regardless of internet connection. In the note title, you can see an example of my Dollarhide-inspired ancestor coding system. One of my ancestor Research Log notes, showing the note link to my Genealogy Index note. Not pretty or fancy, but it does the job quite well for me.

My Research Log notes for each ancestor or relative each link back to this Index note, with that Index link placed at the very top of each Log note so that I can quickly move between each note. I use Evernote to maintain a master Genealogy Index listing everyone I am researching for our family history. Some recent comments by fellow genealogists on my prior Evernote for Genealogy posts brought to my attention that I have not yet discussed the hyperlinked Genealogy Index note that I mentioned in my post from earlier this year about research logs and note links.
