      Learn How To Organize Your
      Genealogy With The Martin

      County Genealogical Society

         Most ancestry sleuths face the ongoing challenge of
      organizing the massive amount of information they collect in
      their genealogical research. The Martin County Genealogical
      Society (MCGS) invites you to kick off the New Year at its
      January meeting by learning about Microsoft OneNote, a
      free digital organizing application. Well known genealogist
      Bob Inhoff returns to MCGS to describe this resource and
      demonstrate how to use it to collect, analyze and organize your
      research. Using OneNote, you can organize your notes, photos,
      news clippings and more in digital “three-ring binders” with
      topical dividers. You can tag, draw your thoughts, record audio
      and share notebooks with others. Offering powerful search,
      linking and sharing features that enhance productive research,
      OneNote is available on your desktop – both Windows and
      Mac – tablet, phone and online.
         Bob Inhoff brings a wealth of genealogy experience to
      MCGS. He currently serves as webmaster for the Florida State
      Genealogical Society and the Goff-Gough Family Association.
      He also chaired the Technology Committee of the Indian River
      Genealogical Society in Vero Beach, where he lives.
         Free and open to the public, the meeting is 1 to 3 p.m.,
      Friday, Jan. 17, at Blake Library, 2351 S.E. Monterey Road
      in Stuart. Light refreshments will be served. In addition to its
      monthly meetings – where local and national experts speak
      about how to explore your family roots – the society offers a
      variety of services at the genealogy room in the Blake Library
      which is manned by MCGS volunteers all year long. For more
      information about membership, activities and services go to
      mcgsfl.org, visit the genealogy room or call Lisa Tompson,
      MCGS president, (772) 888-2422.

      and numerous vendors helped raise funds so we can continue
      to support the needy children of Martin County. The delicious
      luncheon capped off our Christmas fundraiser. Anyone who is
      interested in joining the Christ Child Society, please contact
