After much trial and error, I have decided on a naming convention for my computer images and Legacy. I trialled various ways and thank everyone for their input.
In the end though I decided on a format that suited the way my mind works. I realised that when I sorted through my muddle of photos looking for a particular one, I always look by surname first. I also like to use - instead of brackets or commas. I also decided that right now I will not use sub folders, although I think that when I have all my images renamed I might have 4 grandparent folders. I realise that it means scrolling through a lot of photos, but right now it works. So, I have ended up with: Surname - Christian Name(s) - Type - Date of Birth/Death/Christening - Place - Date of document. If necessary, I will copy the document and amend the description (as in the case of a census) The message I received from everyone was to find the way that works for me. And I think for now this is it. Thank you everyone for your input.
