Evernote Reminders...Part 2

You can find my first post here: How I Process Death Certificates Using Evernote Reminders

To day we will look at different ways to sort and view your reminders.

If you click on Notes this will give you all of your notes in Evernote (#1 in the image above) and it will also give you a list of all of your reminders (#3 in the image above). If you click on the cogwheel (#2 in the image above) you will find your options for sorting your reminders (see the image below.)

I believe the default is to sort them by notebook but you can also sort by reminder date (in image below)

In the image below they are sorted by upcoming reminders in each notebook.

In the image below they are sorted by reminder date showing all upcoming reminders but not by each individual notebook. This is the way I prefer to see mine. You can also choose to show any recently completed reminders.

You can also view your reminders from within individual notebooks. The image below is my Genealogy To Do notebook in my Genealogy stack. You can see the list of reminders above the notes in this notebook. The same cogwheel is there for you to sort your reminders.

You can also search for notes with reminders using Evernote's powerful search feature. To find any note with a reminder that has been completed in the last 7 days you would use reminderDoneTime:day-7. In the image below is my one note completed in the last 7 days. You can see the date that the reminder was completed by the alarm icon; the date has a line through it (the green box to the right of image below.)

reminderOrder:* -- gives all notes with a reminder

reminderTime:day -- gives all notes with a reminder for today

reminderTime:day+7 -- gives all notes with a reminder in the next 7 days

I have not used Evernote's search feature very much with reminders so I am sure there are other ways to search for reminders that contain certain tags etc.

My next post will be about viewing your reminders on your calendar...I LOVE this!

Until next time...happy ancestor hunting!

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to World War II History Network and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable. You can find the database at Casualty Cards Database. Fred Thomas, my husbands great uncle, was in WWII and in the Marines. I searched the database and found : On the first page it states : While the cards for World War II through Korea are not classified, however, they can often be very graphic. Therefore, to maintain the dignity and honor of the Marines, the individual cards will only be released, upon request, on a case by case basis. To request a card, please send an email to history.division@usmc.mil or a request in writting to: United States Marine Corps History Division Attn: Reference Branch 3078 Upshur Avenue Quantico, Virginia 22134 . I immediately sent an email {about 12:30 am because

5 Tips to Break Down Your Brick Wall

Originally posted at Lost Tree Project as a guest post February 2019. Eventually we all hit a brick wall. My first brick wall was with Joseph Thomas {my husband's 3rd great grandfather} I spent months searching. Brick walls can last weeks to months to years. Below are some quick tips to help you break through that brick wall. Research another ancestor for a while and then go back to your brick wall . You will see your brick wall ancestor with new eyes. Use a checklist to see if you missed any records. {You can find my Evernote Research Checklist in my shared genealogy notebook.} Revisit your research. Maybe you missed a piece of information in a document. Maybe something seemed like it wasn't important but now that you have more information you find it is important. Learn something new. It does not need to be genealogy related. When you shift your thinking to something else and then go back to the brick

OneNote | A Look Inside

I still have a few more notes to move over from Evernote but I am loving OneNote. I keep to do lists, goals, projects, ideas, genealogy research and so much more in OneNote. So what does my setup look like? Lets take a look! {I usually use OneNote 2016 but I have tried the Windows 10 app and it works just as good.} The first screen shot below is OneNote 2016 and the second is from the Windows 10 app. My first notebook is my task management notebook. In this notebook I have my Inbox, which is my default section for incoming stuff, calendar and lists. {Emails that I have sent to OneNote and screen clips go in my Inbox section.} The next notebook is for my blog, and then the Genealogy notebook is for research notes, then I have the GBT notebook which I use for notes and reminders for GeneaBloggersTribe, the Reference notebook is for things that don't belong in one of the other notebooks, and the last notebook is the Archive. Lets take a closer look at some o
