I am sorry if this question has been asked many times before. Is there
an archive where I can review previous answers?
I am trying to figure out a good filing system. I have read about filing
by MRIN number, also a color system. I also read the user guide for
ByGones. In the past I have just numbered my documents and made an index
for each family that listed the documents and their number. But I want
to get serious and setup a system that will be flexible and useful.
I can see where ancestors will have some impact on the best system. For
instance with Patronymics it is good to use a geographical organization
and I do have both Danish and Swedish ancestry. But this seems like such
a common question that surely there must be some consensus on the most
reasonable system.
I would also like to get some feedback on database software. Is it a
good idea to use a system like ByGones? Does Legacy provide enough
support to keeping track of my documents? Are there better products on
the market? Maybe an add-on to Legacy?
I am a new user of Legacy and I am finally taking serious my Genealogy,
but I don't want to start down a path that is going to complicate my life.
Thanks,
Russell
