I spoke to the mem­bers of the New Mex­i­co Genealog­i­cal Soci­ety (and actu­al­ly any­one who want­ed to could get on the Zoom), about how geneal­o­gists can ben­e­fit from Ever­note. In that lec­ture, I men­tioned Ever­note Tem­plates, and a workaround to use tem­plates man­u­al­ly.

When she want­ed to revamp the kitchen cab­i­nets, but couldn’t afford… Con­tin­ue read­ing Eulo­gy for Alice Jones
