CATEGORY – Marriage Certificate LOCALITY – Lamar Co, MS Courthouse TASK NEEDING TO BE DONE – Obtain Wash and Annie’s marriage license OPEN DATE – 12 Jan 2012 REMINDER DATE – 12 Feb 2012 (I usually put a month) CLOSE DATE: – 27 Jan 2012 TASK DESCRIPTION - Request letter sent 12 Feb 2012. RESULTS - Lamar County responded back that they don’t have a record of this marriage. A new request letter will be sent to Marion Co. REPOSITORY - Lamar County Circuit Court 403 Main Street Purvis, MS 39475 (601) 794-3470 www.lamarcounty.com Here is one where I found a book I needed on World Cat. It happened to be at the Reese Library (Augusta State Univ) which is near me. I add these in and then when I ready to go to the Reese Library I put a filter on so that only the open Reese Library to-dos will show up and then I can print a list. CATEGORY – Will LOCALITY – Reese Library TASK NEEDING TO BE DONE – Look for Elizabeth Lee’s will abstract OPEN DATE – 17 JUL 2011 REMINDER DATE – 17 AUG 2011 CLOSED DATE – [I haven’t gone yet!] TASK DESCRIPTION - Check the book Title: Abstracts of the wills of Edgecombe County, North Carolina, 1733-1856 Author: Ruth Smith Williams; Margarette Glenn Griffin Publisher Rocky Mount, N.C. : J.W. Watson, 1980 NOTE: I just copied and pasted the book info from World Cat, I didn’t have to type it! RESULTS : [I haven’t gone yet] REPOSITORY: Reese Library (Augusta State University) 2500 Walton Way Augusta, GA 30904 (706) 667-4904 www.aug.edu/~liblsc/Welcome.html spc...@aug.edu NOTE: I only have to put in the repository ONCE. From then on you can pick it from a drop down list. Right now I have EIGHT entries for the Reese Library. I will print those out before I go. You can sort/filter your to-do list many ways. I also have several to-dos for the the Richmond County Courthouse. I can sort by that and then take the list with me. The list that prints out has a place where you can write notes which is very handy. You can make GENERAL entries or SPECIFIC to an individual entries. A general entry might be something like “look for all Martins in the Augusta City Cemetery” and your locality/repository would be Find-A-Grave. A specific one would be looking for James Elexander Simmons’ death certificate. I hope this helps michele From: Paula Ryburn Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 11:29 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] the value of the to-do list Michele, Would you mind too terribly sending us an example of how you enter one to-do list item? What you put into each field? Then what report you run to take with you to the library. That would help me immensely. I have started using to-do items, but would definitely like to make sure I don't show up at a library without my full list of things to find. Thanks. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "cranberryf...@cobridge.tv" <cranberryf...@cobridge.tv> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Fri, January 27, 2012 7:56:53 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] the value of the to-do list I have now discovered just how valuable the to-do list is while I have been going through the BCG Certification process. I wonder now how I managed without it before. At a glance I can see what all I am still needing and what I am waiting for. I have 3 libraries in the Augusta area that have genealogical holdings. World Cat is my friend and I can add items from World Cat into the to-do list and then sort by library. I make ONE trip to the library and I don’t accidentally forget to look at something I need. I can also sort by the Family History Center and I get a list of all of the microfilms I need all neat and tidy. Again, I won’t accidentally forget one that I need. michele -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this message.
