I, for one, still just have folders in the 8 grandparent's names. It is conceivable that that might change and if it does......can't do subfolder to the father, that would tell me to make subfolders for all children which will just get messy. For me. So far, I just like the name followed by a b date.
Let me know what you decide and why, please.

I now understand how to label each photo. Where I am getting muddled now is at what stage does someone have their own folder? For example - my great grandfather is Thomas Smith, so in his folder I would put his birth, marriage, census returns, birth certificates of children and other information. So, when my grandfather (also Thomas Smith) is born do I make another folder for him and duplicate census returns and any other information that has his name on and put it in his file. And then a separate file for his wife, with more duplicate information in?

Had to go look at my pics to be sure what I do. Yes, I do have many Thomas Taylors (including 4 with middle name Russell) and John Linkswilers so right after their name, hopefully with a middle initial, I put a birth year [b 1862] or death year [d 1952]. On all I put name, birth year or not, type and year of doc then place. I also discovered that my system has been evolving over the years and that I need to go back thru my pics and bring the file names up to my current method. So, thanks for that. I'll be interested to hear what you finally decide to do.
