Mary, If you file all items together, what happens when a branch needs to be copied for another researcher? My "cousins" are interested in 1/8 or less of my total collection. Scanned images out-grew a single CD-Recordable back in 1997.
Some people in my current file have six or seven census records, birth, death and multiple marriage registrations. Much confusion over same-name relatives who were neighbors. Some individuals had name and birthdate variations in every source. Some of these people moved from great-grandfather's county to great-grandmothers county. My great-grandparents may have been distant relatives but there are too many people with unknown parents to check the connections. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- > For obituaries, I will keep them all together in 1 file folder and > number them as OBIT 001, OBIT 002, etc. I'm going to mount them > individually on archival safe paper using photo corners.
