I have folders named for the four main families (my grandparents) in my tree and within them name the photos primarily with the surname, forename and UserID of the people. > I have not started scanning documents in yet.

Again, my Sources are similarly named, but broken down by type, then by "repository" (eg Birth Index - Ancestry, Birth Index FreeBMD, etc). My electronic Source Documents are are filed similarly. -- 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
