For what its worth, I now keep a copy of everything relevant to a particular person under the research tab for that person.
Marriage info goes on both parties' pages. Census info likewise, eg the census info below will be available from Thomas', Eliza's & Emily's pages, with the individual highlighted 1861 census - RG9; Piece: 688; Folio: 32; Page: 34; Kings Somborne, Hants Thomas H. Smith 46 Registration clerk & Relieving Officer, b King's Sombourne *Eliza A. Smith 55, Wife, b. King's Sombourne* - bold because this is on Eliza's page & her details are highlighted. Emily M. Smith, dau, 14, Scholar, b Kings Somborne, Hants I have developed a template for summarising wills & include a will summary whenever relevant. This way I can easily access all the info about one person, and also see links easily. I keep a note also of photos & other source info. You may regard this as a 'lumper' solution, but its worked for me over many years. All the best Joan On 31/08/2011 21:58, Lisa Gorrell wrote: > Paula, > > I use surname file folders.
