New Orderly Roots Guide on the way: How I Do It

December 9, 2020 By Janine Adams 4 Comments

I’m putting the finishing touches on a new Orderly Roots guide! It’s called How I Do It: A Professional Organizer’s Genealogy Workflow and it explains, in some detail, how I go about organizing my own genealogy research. I’m never one to tell someone that there’s one right way to organize anything. But I have been honing an organizing process for a few years that works really well for me.

Instead of writing a guide suggesting all the various ways you might organize your research, I decided to write one detailing how I organize mine, in the hopes that it will be a jumping-off point for you.

I’m excited that it’s almost completed and I hope to publish it by the end of the year. Right now it’s over 30 pages long and it might get a little longer. Please keep an eye out for the announcement that it is available!

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
