Thank you everyone who replied. My images and documents are in C:Pictures/Legacy which is very similar to what you have Jane. And I do like the way you identify them.
Can I ask do you indicate what it is ie marriage, birth or is this assumed because of the other information. For example, I have a lot of male Smiths named Thomas and a fair bit of information on each one so knowing what it is I am looking for might help. I realise I can choose what to add but it is helpful to have ideas from others who are already using a certain method.

Here's mine: I keep all my images and documents in, for instance, C:pictures/Legacy pictures in/Sadler [one of my 8 grandparents including my husband's]. I file them last name first, first name and initial, if there's a maiden name, it is capitalized, date, location. The only extra folder I have is cemeteries because I just had to have at least 1 picture of each one which I file by State, County, City, name of Cemetery. I've always been quite satisfied with this method and never had a problem. Oh, and I've been using a computer for genealogy since 1986 and loving it. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
