I keep a separate directory called genealogy with sub-directories named after each main family surname.
Whenever I find gedcoms, names that might be related, names that keep cropping up, etc., any of the situations you described, I put the information into the sub-directory bearing the main family name to which I think it is related. Same with photos or any scans, they all go in there too. Then after I've finished working on that family and have a clear idea of who's who, where they belong and especially who's missing, I'll check that family directory to see if it has any clues. Occasionally in a sudden fit of housecleaning, I'll delete anything I positively know isn't related. Helen [email protected] wrote: > I have struggled with this question for a long time.
