Evernote is an extremely powerful tool that can be used for a wide variety of purposes. But for the digital genealogist, it can turbo-charge your research—providing you with a free (or inexpensive) tool to capture, manage and recall every bit of research you do! It’s available on just about every platform—desktop or mobile—and doubles as a back-up service for your valuable notes, documents, photos, audio, and more. This is a must have tool for anybody using computers for genealogy research.

IMPORTANT PARKING NOTICE
The Ridgewood Police Department will begin tougher enforcement of the one-hour street parking on N. Maple Avenue in front of the Library. Parking limits are in effect Monday–Saturday, 7am–9pm. Parking tickets run $30 for each hour over the one-hour allotment. If you are joining us for a meeting, please use the parking lots behind the Ridgewood Public Library, next to the sports field. 

About The Speaker

Philip (Phil) Hayes is the CEO of Sirius Innovations, LLC. As CEO of Sirius Innovations, LLC, he served as a Technology Solutions Consultant and Web Applications Programmer for fortune 500 companies, large municipalities and hospitals.  He is also a power user of the WordPress Content Management System, commonly used for blogging.

Phil’s latest product development includes a service called ‘Map The Past’.  The advanced, yet easy to use functionality offered in this product will enable its members to “Walk in the Footsteps of Their Ancestors”.

Phil became a Genealogy addict when in 1998, his Uncle, Lloyd W Lewis, sat he and his wife down on the deck of his Uncle’s Pennsylvania home and told them the story of his Great, Great Grandfather Henry W. Lewis, the Privateer.  The story was so intriguing that Phil found himself yearning for more details.  Hence….  Philip Hayes, the Genealogist was born.  Leveraging his technology skills, Philip has grown and developed the family tree well beyond what his Uncle could have ever dreamed of.

Combining the power of technology and the primary sources from historical documents, Philip developed his own family history web site, based on the Word Press Content Management System (http://www.hayesfamily.us).  Upon publishing the site, it has inspired many people to develop interest in the family’s history and has connected Philip to several undiscovered relatives and their family stories.

Phil is a member of numerous historical and genealogy societies, including the Association of Professional Genealogists.

Program starts at 7pm; the presentation will be preceded by a brief business meeting. All are welcome.
