I have created several templates for my genealogical research. One I call
ChronologicalProfile which includes a table that tracks events of a person's
life (birth, marriage, children, death, etc.) with a table the has columns
for date, age, event, & documentation (In documentation I place citations and
links to documentation I have collected such as death certificates & photos).
Another called ResearchLog which includes a table that tracks research
activities: i.e., date, activity/subject, results/notes/questions, and a cell
to indicate that I have transferred research results to the
ChronologicalProfile. A third template is a ProgressReport that is a
narrative page that allows me to run an ongoing narrative of my progress.
I create a Notebook for each major family with a section where I collect
general information about the family members and create section groups where
I create individual files (sections) for members of that family using my
templates and additional sections groups for related individuals such a
spouses. I hyperlink pages to each other such as spouses and children that
assists me in moving around OneNotes.
