Elizabeth Clark, Elyse Doerflinger, Michael Hait and Marian Pierre-Louis had three minutes to present their favorites in each of three categories: technology tip, serendipity moment and website.They all did a great job; the results were close, but Marian Pierre-Louis was the winner chosen by the audience.
Puzzles of the Past: A genealogy blog by Judith Beaman Scott. A place to share my love of genealogy and history, tell some family stories before they’re forgotten, and just maybe, find some new ones. I’ll use these pages to share information about my Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia families and discuss methods to solve some genealogical puzzles. Along the way I’ll include discussions of current issues and practices in the field of genealogy.

My favorite “Idol” moment.
Did you see the Genealogy Idol Competition at Roots Tech
last week? If not, you can watch

However, my favorite was Michael Hait’s use of
Microsoft Word auto-text for CITATIONS! How did I not know this? Better than copy and
paste; type it once, save in auto-text and it’s yours forever. Before the broadcast I had typed about 30 citations
for a ProGen assignment. Yes, they should have already been done, but that’s another
story. Never again. I saved them all to auto-text for the next assignment.

I didn't get a chance to see it, Judi, but I've heard of that Word auto-text trick. I keep forgetting to try it though. I'm going to give it a go right now, thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteI've been using it. It's great. You have to remember to save when you close the document so your citations are there for future use. At least, that's how my version works.
