After reading how all ya'll store you images I think I must the only one
doing it my way. Let me explain.
I first started filing them by MRIN, but that only lasted a couple of weeks
because it was hard to find the families images that I was looking for. I
always had to referance back to Legacy.
First off I made a folder on C drive becasue if you put the images under My
Documents and later change operating systems the location of My Documents
keeps changing. Next I make a folder for each letter of the alphabet: A, B,
C ect. Then as I have census images for SSDI for Marriage Certificates I
make a folder for the family.
The format is:LastName, FirstName MiddleName & WifeName MadainName.
I always put the couples full names, I figure there may be serveral George
Mozingo's. But there is probably only one George Jackson Mozingo who
married a Catherine Cox. But if I ever to come across a second couple with
exatly the same full names then the second one I find will have a 2 or some
thing after the name.
For example:
C:/Genealogy Records/A
/B
/C
/M/Mozingo_Andrey-Jackson-&-Angnes-Mae-Smith
/M/Mozingo_George-Jackson-&-Catherine-Cox
/Mozingo_George-Washington-&-Annie-Dunnam
Then in each folder I lable the images in like manner:
Mozingo_George-Jackson-&-Catherine-Cox-census-1880
Mozingo_George-Jackson-&-Catherine-Cox-census-1900
Mozingo_George-Jackson-&-Catherine-Cox-census-1920
Mozingo_George-Jackson-&-Catherine-Cox-marriage-certificate
Mozingo_George-Jackson-SSDI
Mozingo_Catherine-Cox-SSDI
By doing it this way I can go straight to the family I want and see what I
have on the family and see what I might be missing, such as the 1910 census
for George and Catherine Mozingo.
