One of the most important things a family historian can do is get organized.<\/strong>\u00a0It makes research easier in the short term, and you\u2019ll thank yourself repeatedly for it in the future.<\/p>\n

Many genealogists, including myself, use Evernote \u2014 which has both an excellent online and downloadable system for capturing data and organizing\u00a0information. There is also a great deal of help\u00a0out there on how to use Evernote for genealogy (like these templates from Cyndi\u2019s List).<\/p>\n

But, recently, I came across another free online note taking system that I fell in love with almost immediately. The program\u00a0is Trello, and they have an excellent how-to for using their free platform right here.<\/p>\n

The straightforward layout\u00a0and\u00a0ability to quickly add, edit\u00a0and rearrange information visually are Trello\u2019s major strong suits.<\/p>\n

The organization system they have created is based around \u201cboards,\u201d which hold \u201clists\u201d and \u201ccards\u201d of data. As mentioned, it\u2019s very\u00a0visual \u2014 and adding images, documents, pasted text, and source information is intuitive. The final product is attractive and makes navigation through many files quite a bit easier than with any other note system I\u2019ve used. You won\u2019t need to spend hours reading through the help docs, but if you have questions the answers are easy to find.<\/p>\n

Imagine a board for every surname, family group, or research\u00a0area you\u2019re working on \u2014 one that holds organized sections of information pertaining to that topic. Or single boards for every individual in your tree, with all of their records and notes in one place. The possibilities are endless since the combination of powerful tools and smart design makes it easy to understand and customize. Perfect for family history researchers.<\/p>\n

So, if you don\u2019t already have an organizational system that you love \u00a0\u2014 you might want to consider giving\u00a0Trello a\u00a0try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
