Hi there, Here is my effort to do something similar I think. I have a folder
called Genealogical Office on my Computer in which I keep every type of record
relating to family, including BMD, Census and property records, etc. All

You can create a "Scrapbook" (View ribbon) and include all graphics
you've linked to in your Family File. However, if you've linked
document files (doc, PDF, xls), those can't be printed ou.

The view you get in Windows Explorer may depend on your pdf default

I don’t think there is a standard Windows function for doing that. If you look
at Windows file explorer, at a folder with mixed jpg and pdf files, and you
have in Thumbnail view, you’ll see thumbnails of the jpg files but just a big
icon for the pdf files.

I briefly played with Clooz and Bygones many years ago, and wrote them off as
clunky and unnecessary duplication of effort. But I didn't use them long
