I guess it depends on whether the only paper files you keep are the
originals of things that are scanned into Legacy anyway, in which case
Cathy's system makes sense, or whether you want to keep paper copies about
particular individuals or families as well as the original source documents.
I use the MRIN ("fileyourpapers") system for this latter reason and it works
well for me. I can also see Cathy's logic, however. Surnames don't work
well as file indexes because the people identified are typically not unique.
Cheers,
Rob
