I first heard of Trello on a 'Wacky Wednesday' about Adobe Spark. During that episode, they highlighted an Adobe Spark video by Becky Jamison's: Sharing My Family History on Trello. I likely also watched Cousin Russ' interview with Becky Jamison where she demonstrated her use of Trello. However, I think I missed seeing Hilary Gadsby's blog where she included two videos demonstrating her use of Trello: "Trello, Another Tool for Genealogy".
That was three years ago! I tried tried following Becky's example to create several boards.
This FOSTER board indicates that I was fairly successful in creating a genealogy board. Unfortunately, I did not remember this board and obviously have never used it to assist with my research.
Since I keep hearing from Dear Myrtle about using Trello for planning, I decided to give it another chance. Thus, in June, I did another Google search for Trello and genealogy. One of the posts that caught my attention was Trello Inspiration - How I Use Trello to Organize my Genealogy on A. C. Ivory's Find My Ancestor blog.
Using Ivory's Trello Inspiration as a guide, I started creating a new Trello Board for my 'to do' list. At the time I was wanting to keep track of FamilySearch records that I needed to go to my local library or a Family History Center to access.
This time, I found myself actually using this Trello Board!
