Evernote to OneNote | Importing Notes

A few weeks ago I posted about moving to OneNote from Evernote. To start the process I searched for a way export my Evernote notes into OneNote. At the OneNote website you can download a OneNote importer. Once it is downloaded double click to open and follow the instructions to link your Evernote account. {Save the importer because you will be using it a lot to import your notes}.

I do not suggest selecting all of your notebooks and doing them at one time, especially if you have a lot of notes. Before I started the importer I did a little housekeeping in my Evernote notebooks and deleted notes that were not needed. You can also create some dummy notebooks in Evernote to break up your notes into smaller chunks so you do not run into any issues when importing to OneNote. Once in OneNote you will want to move your notes around into your new organization system.

Select your notebook, select next and let the imported do its magic. It will ask you to sign into your Microsoft account. It will tell you that your notebook in Evernote will be imported as a notebook in OneNote and each individual note will be imported as pages in the notebook. You can select to have your tags imported to OneNote as well. The tags will show up in each note as a hashtag {#} and they are searchable. {I did have them brought in but realized that I did not need them.}

It does take some time depending on how many notes you are importing. When it is done you will see the screen below.

To get back to where you select Evernote notes to import click on #2 on the left in the image above and start the import process over again.

In the next installment of Evernote to OneNote I will show you my setup.

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
