I am speaking of scanned letters. Each letter gives information about a number of people in the family. I wish there was some sort of general category where we could put information and material that pertains to the family as a whole, rather than having to always assign to one family member. I guess its just the way my brain works.
Thanks for all the ideas and comments.
