>>The list of ALL the NEWLY ADDED events is further down this post.<<
See the full CALENDAR or VIRTUAL CALENDAR for
ALL of the upcoming genealogy events.

This week’s email is being sponsored by Evalogue Life

Big writing projects call for an organizational structure and processes to keep the work on track. After writing a dozen books and many other building histories, this class is what I wish I had known when I first started. You will come away with files and infrastructure to set up at the start, the tech I use every day, and my templates. We will also cover digitizing and transcription tools. There are pre-recorded lessons to start right away, and a live Zoom session on Sat., Aug. 10. The replay and other materials will be available for a year. For details click HERE.

IGHR REGISTRATION CLOSES MONDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT

Registration for the Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research (IGHR) ends Monday, July 1 at midnight Eastern time. There are still some available courses — See the website for availability and to register for a great week of genealogy education. https://ighr.gagensociety.org/ighr-courses/

MY 2 CENTS WORTH

(quick disclaimer: none of the people or businesses mentioned in the following even know that I’m mentioning them. These are absolutely not paid endorsements — Just sharing my experiences, and hoping they might help others!)

This past week I participated in my very first week-long genealogy institute, choosing the Genealogical Research Institute (GRIP)’s “Digging Deeper” course, coordinated by Paula Stuart-Warren, to help refresh my research skills which, for anything other than finding genealogy events, have gotten a bit rusty. What a great choice, too — Not only did I learn a lot, but I came away with new ideas, resources, and strategies, as well as renewed determination to solve my brick wall ancestor puzzle (I’m talkin to you, Milo Allen!) I attend webinars a lot, but devoting a full week to genealogy education, with lots of interaction between instructors and other students, is the best!

Also this month, I joined three more genealogical societies, and (I’m embarrassed to admit) finally got a local library card. I am definitely ready for the next half of 2024!

I also started using a new genealogy tool that is a game-changer! My genealogy program (Legacy Family Tree) does a great job of creating citations, but I like to include my source citation right in my Research Log as I find things, which aren’t always added to my tree program right away. I’m often torn between just making a quickie citation (maybe just the url) and wanting to do it “correctly” this first time. I’ve tried several citation templates and such, but I think the best I’ve found is Cite-Builder — It’s super simple, easily customizable, and very thorough — and I haven’t even delved into all the extra features yet. There is a basic free version so you can see how it works, but you’re going to want to subscribe (fyi: annual subscription to premium is 30 AUD = just under $20 US dollars).Connie Knox (GenealogyTV) made a short video about it this month interviewing the Cite-Builder creator that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3BhkikIv-E
