I have *masses* of hard copy Source material where one document relates to anything up to a dozen or even more people. Do people who file their hard copies by RIN (or MRIN for that matter) have multiple copies - one for every person referenced? If so, that would seem a shocking waste of resources and space. I file my documents according to *type* - Certificates all together, Letters all together, newspaper clippings all together, etc etc. Next to each person referenced I write their UserID (which incorporates their RIN.) Within Legacy, I record the location of each document in the Source Detail FileID field - eg "Certificates & Documents, page C10" or "Correspondence & Reports, page L2." No duplication of paperwork and I can quickly and easily refer from paper to Legacy or from Legacy to paper. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
