Hi Glenny and others,
I don't use Clooz (far too much data entry) but do use the Clooz system for filing paper by type. I then add the code number to the relevant source in Legacy (either Master or Detail as the File ID number).
I'd never file anything much if I filed by family as I'm hopeless at cross referencing and would rather not file more than one copy of each piece of paper. Many papers I want to file refer to more than one family and often more than one surname. If I filed by surname or family/marriage, I'd have to copy these pages (from letters and family trees from others to census sheets where unrelated families lived near enough to be on the same page).
My solution.
It may not make a nice display file and double as a family book - but I can find everything quickly and don't have heaps of papers waiting to be filed as I did before I settled on this system.

What filing systems do all of you use for your documentation? \ I have been looking at what Legacy recommends. I have used the Clooz systems (or have started to) in the past and find it intensive!!
Any comments here?
I really aprecaite all of your comments.
