Don, I have mine set up as Jeff does in his example ie: If it has to do with a place ie census, city directory, etc it is named by the place largest to smallest. If it has to do with just the Surname it is filed by SURNAME, ie SURNAME – title, SURNAME-MAIDEN family – title. Just a thought. Ps I don’t convert them until It is relative to more that just a few or I feel the urge to update them lol.

That would work OK, but I’ll have to keep a pdf “open” for quick access and it would have to be updated frequently to be reasonably current. My suggestion would be to add a “Find by File ID” search box to the Master Source List. … and while your programmers are at it, why not make the “Find” (by Source List Title) box have more flexible search criteria (with wild cards?), so that you don’t have to remember the exact spelling of the beginning of a title for the first of its “class” to be found. Life for me was simple when all my sources were “prefixed” with the File ID (ie., 2500 – 1900 US Census…) and all my media files had the same File ID in their filename (ie., 2500_IMG.jpg). But I am trying to do away with the Source Name prefix so that source lists sort alphabetically by “real” source name, not File ID. I suspect that will help a lot is visualizing sources of a common nature (ie.. all 1900 censuses will be grouped together in lists). But it will be harder to find sources when I want to make changes to the media gallery for a source. Thanks again for your ideas.

You can restrict the report to Master Sources. (Reports - Other Reports - File ID) Cathy Don Quigley wrote: Does anyone know how to search for a Master Source by its File ID ?
