All Data Management Programs are designed to help organize all the pieces of information that bring a family together. They have important tools that are not part of new.familysearch/FamilyTree.
![Page 3: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some tools are:
– To Do List/ research Log – Notes/Sources with your analysis that can be shared– Documents linked to all pertinent people – Organizes and labels your digital documents– Personal contact information for living people– Index of people in your database, living and dead– Links to maps– Timelines– DNA information storage– Organizes temple work and easily adds information to and
from FamilySearch.

• OBJECTIVE: Students improve research skills by using additional tools in their data management program that help organize their research. By having organized, shareable, portable information, student’s research will not be lost and will be foundation on which the next generations of researchers can build.

Example marriage of Couey and Dempsey
![Page 6: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Case example:
• The Coueys and the Dempseys– No marriage date for Elizabeth Couey and Eli
Dempsey.– Children were born in Floyd county, but did I
already look there?– Would research be filed in the Couey research log
or Dempsey research log?
![Page 7: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Legacy, Ancestral Quest and Roots Magic let you put a ToDo results on multiple individuals
![Page 8: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Now we can even do a general item.
• Checking indexes for all Coueys in the cemetery records or All Dempsey marriages in Floyd county lets us attach a attach a note to everyone in our data base---if their surname wasn’t in the Index you don’t have to go back.
• When we add new family members with the same surname, then “You weren’t there” is not in the new Research items. We will know to go back to our digital photo.
• We will have recorded the folder where we filed our images.

A filtered list can add by relationship or by name
![Page 10: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Now we know these Coueys aren’t in the book.

Organizing digital documents
• Hyperlinks – Documents directory links don’t transfer when
sharing databases. • Create folders in your DOCUMENT section of
the computer.– For automatic backups.– Quicker organization
![Page 12: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Refer to the folder and group of digital numbers created by
your camera.

Folders store many types of documents
![Page 14: Organize Your Research Using Your Data Management Program- Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816927550346895de0612b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Label folders in the folders
• Become consistent– CAPITAL Surname– Personal name– Record type– Location– Date
• BUSBY Cemeteries AL• BUSBY Charles Death Cert GA• BUSBY Wade Census 1850 GA

Computer programs can printout lists by repository
• By checking online you can determine is a film or book is at BYU and then print research TO-DO lists.

Working with others
• A problem with a data management program is SILO storage. You have information, but you don’t share it with others. Create a system where you regularly upload and share information in an online tree. What if your not sure? Appeal to others to help verify.
• Ancestral Quest provides an online tree where family members can reserve an ancestor they are researching, and then update that information for others to see.
• GEDCOM are changing, but currently you cannot share the document links.
