Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Filing Systems
Hi,
The filling system I use was given to me by Elizabeth Kohler, the leader
of
the Sacramento, CA Users Group. Until then, I had planned to use the MRIN
system, but found her system much easier to use, and works better with
Legacy's File ID field.
First you assign a sequential number to each source you. Then you use
keep
them in a spread-sheet. (Start with number 1)
I enter my sources using Geoff Rasmussen's method of detailing the source
name for the "Place Names". Most of your documents are related to a
place;
i.e., vital records, histories, censuses, etc.
For Surname documents, i.e., family genealogy, histories, I start the
Source
Name with the SURNAME (in Caps) followed by other defining stuff in the
"Source Name" field of the Source definition window.
Photographs can be handled the same way, i.e., a sequential numbering
system.
This system is very close that the Family History Library uses. They have
a
lot more experience in filing source documents than I, and I like the
simplicity of the system.
Legacy, marginally supports this records numbering system, and hope they
will consider adding editing tools so that you don't need to keep a
spread-sheet to fully index a search the documents.
I know this is a very brief description, and can supply more details to
those who are interested?
