I’m pleased to share with you two new quick reference guides: Evernote for Windows for Genealogists and Evernote for Mac for Genealogists. Both these 4-page guides are available for purchase in printed, laminated format.

Evernote is certainly the fastest-growing (and FREE) note-taking technology out there, so it’s no wonder that it is incredibly popular with genealogists. If you’re an Evernote user yourself, you’ve likely noticed that there’s a lot of functionality packed into it. However, I’ve noticed that many genealogists aren’t taking full advantage of what Evernote offers.

The Windows version of Evernote for Windows for Genealogists.That’s why I created these “cheat sheets:” quick reference guides that help users immediately harness the Evernote’s power to gather, organize, cite and share genealogy research across multiple platforms. In them you’ll find:

§  Getting Started Checklist
§  Quick Keys to speed up your use of Evernote
§  Specialized Note-taking Actions
§  How to Get the Most Out of Clipping
§  Tips for Maneuvering the Desktop Client
§  Genealogical Organization Suggestions
§  Little Known Search Strategies
§  Source Citation Tips, and Using Reminders

I hope you’ll mention these useful quick guides to your audiences. Feel free to pass along two of my favorite tips for using Evernote in your posts:

1) Create a New Note: When you’re working on your computer and you want to make a quick note of something in Evernote, you can get there with lightning speed by pressing quick keys simultaneously. Windows: Ctrl+Alt+n.  Mac: Command + N. 

2) Instant Note Search: What if you are knee deep in your research and you have a note that you need to quickly reference? Simply press Win+Shift+f (Windows) or Option + Command + F
 (Mac) from anywhere on your computer and Evernote will instantly open with your cursor in the search box ready to type a keyword and search!

Evernote for Genealogists Quick Reference Guides are available at the Genealogy Gems store at www.GenealogyGems.com and for a limited time your readers can purchase them at a discounted price. Attached is a product image of the Windows version of the guide. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sunny Morton, Contributing Editor at Genealogy Gems, by return email.
