Monday Musings

So much to do, so little time.  I was surprised today when I came time to do my blog for today, to discover that my laptop was still in my bag from Thursday!  I was amazed!  Hardly a day goes by that I am not on the laptop working on my file in some way.  When I mentioned to Mr Brown Eyes that I had not been on the laptop he just laughed.

We hosted Easter here for our kids & grandkids.  Lots of laughs, food and time together. 

I'm back to working on all my images.  Naming, cropping and linking, checking each and every image to make sure that all are properly linked & named.  We aren't even going to discuss numbers on that project.  If I saw how many images I actually have linked, I might just run the other way.

I also started working on a sourcing project last week.  Modifying all my sources to make sure they are properly done and the information on each one is correct.  A lot of my sources are items in the Allen County Public Library catalog so I can copy & paste lots of the information straight from their catalog to my source.  Does make things easier.

And of course working on the to do list for the research trip to Allen County as well.

What are YOU working on this week??

Monday Musings - What software Are You Using?

Wow!  What a week it has been.  I can't say I did alot of genealogy but I'm working on turning that around.   I spoke three times last week, which kept me busy.  On Friday, my son came home from Texas.  Since he's the computer brain, especially in the land of Mac, we decided it was the perfect day for me to jump ship from PC to Mac.

I wasn't quite sure I was ready but I had already spent two years on the iPad so it wasn't like I wasn't familiar with the iCloud, iPhone and other things "i"...   So the transition was pretty smooth.  I went to an MacBook Pro with a hard drive that has enough space for all my photo's... after all I have over 13,000 headstone photo's alone.  It took a bit to get all my photo's moved, but now they are all there and very much visible.

All the other files are moved and functioning.  Now the next question is, do I keep using Legacy in Parallels or do I find a Mac genealogy software and switch?  Playing around with Heredis and Reunion.  Was hoping one or the other would just jump out at me but neither did YET.

How about you?  Are you running a Mac with genealogy software on it?  IF so, can you share with me your choice?  Cost?  What you like and don't like about it?

Thanks! I'd love to hear from you!
