You can look for Joe Blogg's Birth Certificate in a folder containing 1000 files, or you can make a couple of extra clicks to get to the Bloggs/Birth Certificates subfolder and choose from 20 files. Makes sense to me. I don't actually split all the Source documents by family. I have them split into folders according to what they are (eg Baptism Images) and subfolders (eg Newspapers/Title) and then name the file by Surname-Forename-RIN, usually with a leading identifier of the file type, such as BAP, or MC. Only exception is Censuses which is one folder per country per year and I name the images with the Census reference. -- 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).
