Whether you’re a new genealogist looking to get organized right from the start or a more experienced genealogist looking to improve your organizing systems, this downloadable guide can help!
Organizing Your Genealogy
Right From the Start
Start Your Genealogy
Journey Off Right
Save yourself time and effort by figuring out how you want to organize your genealogy research before you create a big backlog to deal with.
This guide is for you if:
You're new
You’re just starting out in genealogy and wonder what you need to do to stay organized.
You're disorganized
You’re not even sure what organized genealogy can look like.
You're overwhelmed
You love playing detective in your genealogy research but are starting to get overwhelmed by the volume of information you're gathering
This guide outlines the components of a simple genealogy organizing system. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach that tells you what to do. I’m a big believer that everyone organizes differently, based on their own preferences and experiences. This guide gently steers you toward an organized genealogy life. I share what works for me, based on my years as a genealogist (and the mistakes I’ve made along the way) as well as my expertise as a Certified Professional Organizer. (For a deeper dive on how I organize my genealogy research, see my newest guide, How I Do It: A Professional Organizer's Genealogy Workflow.)
If you’ve been doing genealogy for a while but don’t feel like your research is as organized as it might be, or if you feel overwhelmed at the idea of setting up a new organizing system, this guide can help you too.
This guide includes information to help you:
- Decide between paper and electronic organizing systems
- Keep a research log
- Keep from getting distracted while you’re researching
- Create good genealogy habits
