Martyn: As you say, there is no one *right* way to arrange your sources and some of us have gone through a couple of different schemes. It sounds like you've nearly settled on sorting master sources by record type, and that's certainly a workable method. Before you go far into that arrangement you might also think about sorting by location. This is the method Geoff appears to use and I've been converting many of my own master sources to a location-based format. It seems to work well for birth, marriage, death, and burial records although your parish records would then be split among several different locations. I rather like having records for a given location all listed together although they are further split by county and record types such as Ontario, Wentworth, Marriage Records (which would be Wentworth County in Ontario, Canada). You could add in the parish as well. This is not at all a recommendation--just a thought about a different way of organizing sources.
