Snagit part 2 - Advanced Screen Clipping for Genealogy

[@debbiebiggs3144]

Lisa, Thank You! I got Snagit after watching your 1st Episode about it, using your link and getting the discount! What a fabulous tool......for all digital work. I can't wait to go back to the multitude of newspapers that I have, put all the chunks together, add the source citation onto the front of the page and refile! I appreciate you and all that you do to help us all out as we grow our family history! Thank You!

You are so welcome!

I have had the problem as Bill on many occasions. It has always been because I have duplicates of the "brother" on my tree. So I go to the "brother's" profile page, select merge duplicates and then merge the duplicates.

This just means one is marked Primary and one Alternate. His tree is set to show both. It is not something gone wrong in Ancestry.

Thanks for this great content, Lisa. I am a new user of Evernote and SnagIt. One challenge I have with Evernote's web clipper is trying to save multiple clips into one note. Could I use SnagIt to remedy this? How would I go about it? Use SnagIt to save the clippings onto the clipboard, then share with EN? Any guidance would be much appreciated! And if you've already explained this somewhere else, please point me that way. I think I have watched all your videos on EN and SnagIt and don't remember seeing this addressed.

When I want multiple clips in one note in Evernote, (which isn't that often) I just cut the second clipping out of the note and paste it in the first note containing the first clipping. Then, delete the note it was cut from. Yes, you can also use Snagit to create the combined clippings file (as demonstrated in this video) and then simply share to EN. You can set up Snagit to share automatically to EN in the Share Preferences.

I agree with Sharon. There's nothing wrong here. The user has simply documented two versions of the birth date/place. Ancestry automatically shows a family event chronology in the Facts list, so births and deaths of parents and siblings are pulled into each family member's page, and multiples will show up if alternate dates have been recorded. I personally dislike pages with all the sources supporting the primary rendition of a name, date, place, et al. I prefer that each variation is documented. Collating sources is fine for publishing, but for research I need to quickly ascertain which source provided which fact.

I've used SnagIt's Grab Text feature to grab interesting book titles and articles that appear in footnotes of ebooks at places like the Internet Archive.

Great idea, thanks for sharing!
