The program will be “How to Organize All this Genealogy Stuff” presented by Lisa Louise Cooke. As the title of this program suggests, you will learn techniques to save yourself future frustration and disappointment by putting a solid genealogy organizational plan in place for all the types of items that will be coming your way. Ms. Cooke personally uses the systems that she is sharing, and they have proven to be reliable and efficient. We will cover systems for 4 types of stuff: Organizing All This Paper! The Physical Items Organization System, Organizing All That Genealogical Data! The Family Tree Data Organization System, Organizing All These Digital Files! The Digital Organization System and Organizing All that Web Information! The Online Notetaking System.
