Our friends at Lifehacker always come up with great ideas. Be sure to check out Lynda Schmitz Fuhrig's <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5725219/future-proof-your-digital-photos-with-better-archiving-techniques" target="_blank">"Future-Proof Your Digital Photos with Better Archiving Techniques"</a>. Some of her suggestions have to do with file naming conventions, which may just expedite the careful organization of your digitized photos and documents.<br />

Facebook groups have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious "SEARCH THIS GROUP" box toward the upper right, on the menu bar.<br />
<br />
<b>WHY?</b><br />
This saves the new members time when searching for a post on a specific topic. And it helps us long-term members find posts that have scrolled down the list and off the main page of The Organized Genealogist.<br />

Visit your state, regional or national archives and you are likely to find textual records and photos filed in metal edge Hollinger boxes. These "cardboard" boxes are acid free, a necessary component for preventing the premature aging of photos. <br />
<br />
For use in my office, I've found these are usually less expensive through <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">www.amazon.com</a> than through <a href="http://www.gaylord.com/">www.gaylord.com</a>.<br />

If you use EVERNOTE to keep track of your "research in progress" perhaps this article will help:<br />
<br />
Source: <a href="https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/01/29/create-notebook-stacks-evernote/" target="_blank">How to Create Notebook Stacks with Evernote where we read:</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Sometimes, you have notebooks that contain a common theme. Perhaps
you’re working on blog posts for the month of January and you want to
work closely with your notebook that lists content ideas.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i></i><br />
<i>With Evernote, you can group notebooks together so you can access them easily."</i></blockquote>
What then follows are directions for accomplishing this on a Mac and a PC. <br />

<br />
<b>DearJESSICA,</b><br />
Without being snarky, Ol' Myrt here says <i>"It depends."</i> What are your genealogical goals<i>?</i><br />
<ul>
<li>organizing your paper and digital files </li>
<li>documenting information gathered on living generations in addition to ancestors<i><br /></i></li>
<li>"cousin bait"</li>
<li>researching online record collections</li>
<li>a place to "park" online records records until you're sure you've got the correct ancestor?</li>
</ul>
<i> </i>Consider these alternatives.<i></i><br />
<ul>
<li>Have at least one of several <b>genealogy database programs (for Mac or PC) </b>to keep your "own" copy of your current thinking on family relationships. This includes living generations as well as ancestors. </li>
<li>Check out genealogy programs at <b><a href="http://cyndislist.com/software/" target="_blank">Cyndi's List - Software</a></b>.</li>
<li><b>Placing an online tree </b>at <a href="http://www.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">Ancestry</a>, <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/" target="_blank">FamilySearch</a>, <a href="http://www.findmypast.com/" target="_blank">FindMyPast</a> (basically British records) and <a href="http://www.myheritage.com/" target="_blank">MyHeritage</a> (very large outside the US, recognizing 40+ languages) to permit each site's record matching technology point to documents possibly matching your ancestors' profiles.</li>
<li>Adding an online tree at <b><a href="http://www.wikitree.com/" target="_blank">WikiTree</a></b>, in addition to those above, strictly for "cousin bait." </li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.mackiev.com/ftm/index.html" target="_blank">Family Tree Maker</a></b><i> </i>syncs with Ancestry Member Trees.</li>
<li><b><a href="https://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder" target="_blank">Family Tree Builder</a></b> syncs with MyHeritage.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.rootsmagic.com/" target="_blank">RootsMagic</a></b> can import FTM files directly now, also works with FamilySearch, and points to hints from MyHeritage. Will sync with Ancestry Member Trees by Dec 2016.</li>
<li><b>Create a separate, private online tree</b> at say Ancestry to keep track of note and records on a "suspected" kinship relationship during your research process. </li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.rootsmagic.com/" target="_blank">RootsMagic</a></b> can automatically create a website, hosted on their site or yours.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://dna.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">AncestryDNA</a></b> works best when attached to a public tree at Ancestry.com. It's easy from most any genealogy program to create a GEDCOM file to upload to an Ancestry Member Tree.</li>
<li><b>That same GEDCOM</b> file can be uploaded to FtDNA when you are ready.</li>
<li><b>A website,</b> blog and online presence of public trees can serve you well as "cousin bait."</li>
<li><b>Use Blogger.com (easy)</b> or WordPress (sharper learning curve) as your blogging platform, telling one ancestral anecdote per post. You could include a post with each ancestral photo or document you discover, etc. If you choose Blogger.com, remember it's owned by Google, so within minutes of your post, Google will spider your blog, making every word or phrase "findable" by those distant cousins you haven't yet met. </li>
<li><b>Facebook</b> is a place to connect with the younger generations, so you might set up a private FB Group just for posting family pics and cross-posting your blog. </li>
<li><b>Avoid heartbreak when your hard drive crashes</b>. You know it will sometime. Keep your offline images, documents and genealogy database backed up to the cloud, using something like <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> and <a href="http://www.backblaze.com/" target="_blank">BackBlaze</a>. I've set both to sync automatically, so I never have to worry about this. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>HOW TO ORGANIZE THIS STUFF</b><br />

<br />
Create a digital calendar, say with <a href="http://www.cozi.com/" target="_blank">Cozi</a> (desktop, iOS and Droid tablets and phones) or <a href="https://www.google.com/calendar" target="_blank">Google Calendar</a> (all platforms) to send you reminders like these:<br />
<ul>
<li>1st of the month - check backup services for current subscriptions.</li>
<li>Every Tuesday - write an ancestral blog post.</li>
<li>Every Thursday - confirm that your online trees are matched to your "best thinking" genealogy database on your Mac or PC. This includes recently proved kinship determinations with proof arguments and accompanying photos and source documents.</li>
<li>Reminders of upcoming genealogy webinars and conferences.</li>
<li>Every year on your birthday - change the batteries in your smoke detectors.</li>
<li>An occasional reminder to cook dinner and do the laundry.<br />
</li>
</ul>

<b>So, you are thinking about making copies of old photos and documents when visiting Aunt Libby's house over the holidays? </b>John Zimmerman's .PDF file titled <i>Photographing Documents with an iPhone and Tripod </i>is a must read. Thankfully, John includes pics of the right way and the wrong way to do things. There are details about the swivel video mount he ordered from Amazon.com. And you've simply got to read which way to line up those tripod legs, so the weight of the iPhone doesn't cause the entire thing to tip over. Who needs a cracked up smart phone with the holidays approaching?<br />

<b>When you need to track an ancestor or his family more frequently </b>than every ten years from a census, city directories are a good place to turn. Thanks to<b> </b>Cecily Bishop for creating a printable <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/organizedgenealogist/468056186629785/" target="_blank"><i>Individual City Directory Worksheet</i></a> in MSWord format. By the time you complete an entire worksheet, you've created a mighty good migration trail from which to look for other surviving documents that may mention your ancestors.<br />

<br />
Our spotlight this week is the work of Katherine R. Wilson, who has gathered 5,700+ links to Facebook genealogy pages and groups, with another 300+ in the works. Katherine has personally uploaded a copy to The Organized Genealogist Facebook group file area <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/organizedgenealogist/402125709889500/" target="_blank">here</a>. We've learned she is writing a book on the use of Facebook for genealogical research.<br />
<br />
<br />
Katherine's file in .PDF format has a clickable table of contents including, among other topics:<br />
<ul>
<li>US states</li>
<li>foreign countries</li>
<li>adoption</li>
<li>DNA</li>
<li>ethnic groups </li>
<li>lineage societies</li>
<li>maps </li>
<li>software</li>
<li>surnames</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: red;"><b>So why are we spotlighting this marvelous file? </b><span style="color: black;">Quite frankly to remind
our group there is probably a Facebook group out there to handle your <i>research </i>questions. This frees us up to discuss <i>organization</i> in The Organized Genealogist Facebook Group. Without Katherine's list, we may never know what's available. </span></span><br />
<br />
<b>WHERE TO FIND KATHRINE'S LIST</b><br />

<b> Just what is the <span style="color: red;">"right"</span> thing to do? </b><br />
<br />
<b>When it comes to copyright and genealogy, Judy G. Russell​, JD, CG, CGL is my go-to expert.</b> Cousin Russ​ asked that I share this video with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/organizedgenealogist" target="_blank">The Organized Genealogist Facebook Group</a> as we consider:<br />
<ol>
<li><i>Should I upload the handout to last week's genealogy class to our Facebook Group? </i></li>
<li><i>May I attach that image to my ancestor's profile in my online tree or personal database?</i></li>
<li><i>Can I share someone's Excel worksheet with our Facebook group? </i></li>
<li><i>If I cite where I got an item from, does that meet the concept of "fair use" ?</i></li>
</ol>
<b>In this video we were considering how much of a book to use in our <i>public </i>study group discussions and <i>publicly published</i> homework. </b>We want to be sure to keep things on the up and up. These same principles of fair use apply to our posts and files we may upload to our Facebook group.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: red;">AND THE ANSWER IS... If it isn't yours, don't share it without written permission.<span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Actually we already knew that, since we learned in grade school not to copy the work of a fellow student. </span></span></div>

Cousin Russ and I knew we'd need help in the admin department when it comes to a Facebook group with 26,000+ members. We are happy to introduce our teammates: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank-fully <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/diane.g.hall.7" target="_blank">Diane Gould Hall</a></b> has agreed to continue as a member of the team established by our founder Susan Petersen. Diane serves us well with institutional knowledge about the group. Look for her digital folders organization file with great ideas. Her blog is <a href="http://www.michiganfamilytrails.com/" target="_blank"><i>Michigan Family Trails</i></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Archivist <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/melissa.barker.564" target="_blank">Melissa LeMaster Barker</a></b> joins the team with an eye to preservation, something organized genealogists must consider before the paperwork becomes overwhelming. She posts practically every day via Facebook, spotlighting unusual ephemera uncovered in her work at the Houston County, Tennessee Archives.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An experienced archives, library and online researcher, <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pat.o.kuhn" target="_blank">Pat O'Donnell Kuhn</a></b> understands the challenges facing family historians and can help us avoid pitfalls. Her blog is <i><a href="http://wwwtouchingfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Touching Family History</a>. </i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

It is my pleasure to announce that our favorite <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hrworth">Cousin Russ Worthington</a> has devised an ingenious way to access the 300+ files in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheOrganizedGenealogist" target="_blank">The Organized Genealogist Facebook Group</a>'s file area. This is the plan:<br />
<br />
<b>FIRST</b>, Russ created a Google Doc titled <a href="http://bit.ly/TheOrganizedGenealogistFILES" target="_blank">The Organized Genealogist File Listing Directory</a> with clickable category links such as:<br />
<ul>
<li>Census</li>
<li>Checklists</li>
<li>Research </li>
</ul>
<b>NEXT,</b> Russ created a Google Sheet for each category, with the listing of files by name, date of upload and name of uploader. <br />
<br />
<b>THEN,</b> Russ instructed the other group administrators to test out every link, to be sure each pointed to the correct file.<br />
<br />
<b>FINALLY,</b> Russ created a short-subject video explaining how to use the The Organized Genealogist File Listing Directory, embedded below. <br />

on how to organise my research plans. I'm just setting up some
templates to get myself more organised in moving forward with my
research. I've never used Research Plans before so I've found a
template i like but do i use this for each event/fact i research?
birth, death, marriage, etc. or only the ones i have trouble finding?
And if i use the Research Plans for all events/facts, do i use a
separate plan for each 'fact' or one Research Plan per ancestor that
encompasses them all?" </i>[See: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/organizedgenealogist/permalink/702045023230899/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/organizedgenealogist/permalink/702045023230899</a> : viewed 18 Oct 2015] </div>
