Let me know how you get on with Evernote. I do use Onenote but don't have a definite process organised for that yet. I find that I can tailor the spreadsheets to suit a family or the way I want to analyse the family which gives me more flexibility. It's handy for recording when I don't find anything which is sometimes more important than when I do make a discovery! Just a small note that I've seen a new source of information and I've had a quick search for Tillin but found nothing can save me time in the future. I use Excel more for lists and notes when I don't have access to my database e. Hi Diane, I use Family Historian as my genealogy database including sources etc.

I like your blog and am going to read more of your posts. Going forward I will use Evernote for those purposes. I used them specifically for keeping addresses of cemeteries, their addresses, hours etc. I use spreadsheets in my personal life and have even used them when I'm traveling to an ancestors home state. What is the advantage to using a spreadsheet vs a database? I want to be sure I'm not missing something. It does pretty much everything you mention here, with much less work and a lot more power. I use a software database, Legacy, to be exact.

If there's anything else you can think of then let me know. Hi Kristie Thanks for your comment - I'll add it to my list of blog post ideas for the future.
