In reality, Jennifer, I use six colors. Four are for my ancestors and two are for my husband's ancestors. I also use binders instead of folders. I'm still working through getting everything updated (lots of re-working of things I've entered over the past decade). But, I like having the surnames together. I thought when I was reading about this system that there IS a way to work those other lines in. Not sure about the unrelated persons, tho.
If you participate in the webinar, you can ask that sort of question. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Jennifer Crockett <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, October 30, 2011 6:25:51 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Four-color filing system (Mary A.V.

Or even unrelated lines I sometimes pursue, usually for second cousins.

The title is "FamilyRoots Organizer System" I really like her system too because it doesn't depend on RINs or MRINs, which can get changed.....
