Hi Russ.
Hi Russ. Thanks for pointing me to the video's about Hangouts. I've watched them and I'm still confused. I understand the big picture but I'm having trouble with specific functionality and I'm hoping you can help me. Let me explain my objectives and you can let me know if you can be my muse.
I am the First Vice-Regent of Roswell King DAR chapter, in Dunwoody, Georgia. Our chapter is unique in a several ways and I'm trying to make a more cohesive group. Our chapter meets on the third Tuesday of each month (except 3 months in the summer) from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Our chapter is organized for working women. Part of our membership are retired working women, the other part of our membership consists of working women. My goal is to find a way to include both sides of working women. Our retired members are advanced in age and are mostly unavailable for meetings. Our working women wear many hats. Their schedules are packed between work and family. I believe HOA's will be an excellent way to bridge the gap between working and retired members.
To complicate matters, the women wanting to join our chapter are typically working professionals with limited time. Our chapter Registrar is stepping down after 8 years and we have no one as a capable replacement. I want to use HOA's as a way to communicate with our prospective members. As with any lineage society, there are specific guidelines on how to fill out the application. I want to be able to interact with one or more person's to guide them in the application process. Additionally, I need to provide an avenue whereby others in my chapter can help.
Is there any way you and I could talk real time so you could walk me through the process of actually doing a HOA? The video's provide some information but I'm missing a few key points. I'd really appreciate your time and instruction - and so would our chapter! Thanks -
Marsha

Best practice traveling to find location, places etc....
Best practice traveling to find location, places etc....
One reason I am fascinated about location based genealogy is my fascination of walking where my ancestors has been.
I have the last weeks done 3 tours and I have started to use a Spot device to track my trip every 20 minutes so that I afterwards can create a nice trip report with the route in it
In Swedish sample trip reports with tracks created with a spot
http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2833697
http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2825789
http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2794576
The problem I feel as a newbie in geneaology is to prepare for the journey. How to do it in the best way?
I try to be exact in position of a fact if possible using GPS coordinates.
I have seen the possibility to create customized reports and filter on location which works but still it is difficult to find the places. I would like to have places of interest on a map...
As a "workaround" I have tested by hand to create customized Google maps and use my phone to find of what places is near me or how to navigate to a place and that is a way forward but I would like to have this automated....
Sample Google map created by hand

Question: Any best practice/advices on how to build your tree and how to easy find a way to visit places "in your tree"?
Sampel blogpost where I have documented the last trip with maps and GPS coordinates, youtube video and a podcast about a house where my fathers mother lived

My dream is to have like a geocache app interface where you get a lost of find places near you location that belongs to your family tree,,,,,

I like FTM data model where you have source, citation and that you canlink a fact to more people.

BUT http://youtu.be/ElrY5ALsx1Y?t=15m28s here Crista Cowen is resolving conflicts and then she use Excel to compare evidence against each other. I like the way she works BUT she is doing it outside FTM which I feel is a weakness of the user interface of FTM?!?!?
My question is: Do you use other tools than FTM to resolve conflicts or to get an overview. I looked briefly on Evidentia http://evidentiasoftware.com/what-is-evidentia/ and that sounds as a good approach to not be people centric.
Question: Do you feel of any limits with FTM regarding resolving conflicts? Have you tested evidentia or any other tool and can they live together with FTM
