Hi Ken, Thanks for the recommendation. Since I've just started using Legacy I'm not that familiar with the MRIN, but it sounds like a useable system. Do you use MRIN filing method for documents (marriage certificates, census records, etc.) as well?
Thanks, Brian -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Jones Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 1:43 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Naming photos Here is what I am doing. Since I use the MRIN filing method, I label all pictures as follows: mrin-xPIC-name(s)-description Where x is H (Husband), W (Wife), C (Couple), or n (for unmarried children where 1 is the first child, 2 the second, etc.) If I have a group photo, I use the MRIN of either the primary person/couple or the oldest person/couple and use F (Family) or G (Group) for the x I am thinking of adding the date taken (or ABTdddd as suggested by another) in part of the name. Just my 2 cents. On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 7:29 AM, Brian Beddor <bbed...@japsolson.com> wrote: > Hi, > Does anyone have any recommendations for how to name photos on one's > computer?
