As part of the prep work for the Genealogy Do-Over, I have
been comparing my current method of organization to others being suggested. I have been using document oriented organization
(file folders for Birth, Death, Marriage, Census, etc.) but I am considering
moving to surname oriented with the document description at the end of the file
name.
My current view:
Diana Ritchie’s example from the Genealogy Do-Over Facebook
group:
I am thinking about combining the challenges as a way to
clean up my family tree. I have been collecting
many scans, pictures and other items but have not been linking them
consistently to my tree. In addition, my primary genealogy software The Master Genealogist is no longer supported.
I am evaluating RootsMagic and Legacy Family Tree to see which one I will move my tree to for the future. I would like to create a tree that is my “source
of truth” and that is not linked to shared tree on Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, etc. In my new tree, I will
only add people and facts that are supported by documentation and
citations.
The Do-Over is scheduled to last 13 weeks. 52 Ancestors for the year. I making
my plan and I am ready for the Do-Over!
