Research Logs


My teacher posted these helpful screenshots to using roots magic and I thought i would post them here to help others!  They are about research logs!




  1. In your personal “Edit Person” screen, click on the “Research Log” tab. Make sure the “YOUR NAME- Birth Certificate” is highlighted and click the Print tab. Click the “Generate Report” tab. Click the Save tab and then click “PDF”. Save your report someplace you will be able to find it. Take a screenshot of your report, or save it as an image and upload and submit it to your instructor when you have finished the assignment. You may view the example of a report below:

  2. Open your Roots Magic file. Click on the Help tab in the top center of the screen. Click on “Contents”. With the “Index” tab clicked, find “Notes”, click “Add”, and click Display. Review the instructions about using notes in Roots Magic.
    • In your Person edit screen, highlight the Birth fact on the left side of the screen by clicking it once under “Facts”. Click in the highlighted box under the green notebook icon. A birth note box will open. Record stories you know about your birth in the box. Click the “Save note” tab.
