Onenote Family Notebook

No matter how much I would love to do nothing but my genealogy, life seems to have it’s own thoughts for me.

Just like physical notebooks, OneNote notebooks are a collection of note pages. Start by creating a notebook, then build from there. On any page, select the Show Notebooks button. At the bottom of the pane, select Add Notebook or + Notebook. Enter a name for the new notebook, then select Create Notebook. OneNote switches to the new notebook. The biggest collection of Free OneNote Templates & Notebooks, designed to simplify life & work smarter – Showing you new ways to use OneNote & speed up productivity. All our templates are bundled into notebooks – each a collection of unique time saving productivity tools.

I am however back to working on my genealogy again!

Good news is… thanks to my organizing that was done a while back, I can come right in and it only takes me a small amount of time to get back on the track I was on…

My tidbit for today…

NOTES! ORGANIZATION! RESEARCH LOGS! AND ONENOTE... these are very very important if you don’t want to spend mass amounts of time trying to remember where you were and what you were doing if life gets in your way from time to time…

How I Use Microsoft OneNote for My Genealogy Research

READ THIS FIRST

Microsoft has made some changes to the way notebooks can be shared on OneDrive. I believe you can view my notebooks in OneDrive without being signed into Microsoft following the links I have provided. However, you will need to be signed into your Microsoft account before you can open these OneNote notebooks on your computer. Once they are opened on your computer, they will be READ ONLY Sections and Pages. You will not be able to edit them.

In order to edit the Sections and Pages in OneNote, you will need to create a new OneNote notebook and COPY the Sections and Pages to your new notebook. (Right click on the Section/Page and choose Move/Copy.) Once you have done that, you can close the Read Only notebook. You should now be able to edit the Sections and Pages in your new notebook.
