12 #Genealogy Things You Need to Know This Morning, Monday, 30 Dec 2013, via 4YourFamilyStory.com. #needtoknow
  • Findagrave.com has a new Edit Tab on the contributor page. And as one would expect, Findagrave tells what it's for & how to use it in their FAQ's.
  • For those researching their ancestors across the pond, Family Deeds has added new deeds to their collection. Family Deeds is a privately funded project wherein they buy family deeds and other old documents in the UK, transcribe them, index them, provide the indexed information [all names on documents and locations], offer the transcription for a small fee, and also sell the documents to fund purchasing more old deeds and documents. [Very nice service as I personally have a -- sometimes -- expensive habit of rescuing family ephemera in local antique stores and researching it and returning it if possible. It adds up, I tell ya'. Plus, the older it is and I tend to rescue older "stuff", the more descendants there are who might possibly want it. Providing full transcriptions for a small fee is smart. Hmmm. And another hmmm.]

  • For Evernote users: for iOS and Mac users power up your Evernote tasks with OnlyTasks; here are some Evernote tagging tips from alphaefficiency.com; and this list of Evernote iPad apps & Chrome Extensions can be helpful to genealogists too [I know 'cause I use some of them.].
  • The Family History Library catalog is now in the OCLC [Worldcat.org] and on Root Dig, Michael John Neill has some great screenshots of it.  [Handy and very dandy. And a hat tip to Elizabeth Shown Mills for sharing the info on Facebook.]
  • Shopping for an external hard drive? Lifehacker has a list of 5 good ones. [I use the Western Digital My Passport one. Love it. Glad it made their list. :)] Also, recently in the Tech for Genealogy Google+ Community, we had a discussion on shopping for external hard drives.
  • In charge of planning your next family reunion? Perhaps evitely can help you out with that. They're in beta right now and you can sign up for beta access to try it out. If you're brave. It looks like it might be very handy. So if you're the early-adopter-of-tech-kinda-person-who's-in-charge-of-the-family-reunion, this might be something you want to check out. =)
  • I'm sure you're already periodically checking DeadFred.com for lost family photos, but are you remembering to check Forgotten Old Photos?
  • Here's a handy Missouri-Kansas Civil War Conflict Timeline. [Thanks to Jenna Mills for sharing it on Facebook.]
  • Got videos NOT made on your iPad but would like to put them there to edit ['Cause it's SO much easier to do it on the iPad with iMovie]? Here's how to do that from MacWorld.
  • Here are some great photo tips from the Photo Detective, Maureen A. Taylor.
  • Here are 4 handy Windows 8.1 hot keys & hidden features from technet.com.
  • And Ohio volunteers are showing off. LOL. ;) USGenWeb volunteer contributors uploaded 453 files yesterday for various counties in the following US states: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio [Oh my! Lots.] , Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia.

Other things that might interest you. Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe.

  • Did you miss the 9 genealogy things you needed to know yesterday? 
  • Want to annotate your screenshots on your iPad? Here's how with the DocAS app.
  • Genealogy Research Tip: Don't stop.  Go further. Go longer. Don't quit. Go all the way. Here's one way.

Happy Researching!
