Hi Diane, As Elizabeth mentioned in an earlier post on photos, if you ever want to copy your photos and scanned docs and send them to someone who shares only one line with you, it might be easier if you have filed these images by Surname, rather than by type.
I personally have my folders in Legacy's Pictures folder, each one with a different Surname. Within the surname folder, I sometimes have a sub-folder I call Sources, where I put some scans of certificates or censuses that are particularly interesting. I try to name my image files by MaidenSurname-MarriedSurname-GivenName-Event[if applicable]-date[in yyyy-mm-dd format]. But I haven't been consistent, and I will probably change. Some will suggest you use all small letters and no spaces (you can use dashes), and I would echo that if you haven't started yet. Hope you find a suggestion that works for you!

I want to add photos and documents to my Legacy File. Since reading this mail list, I hesitate to even start with this until I develop an organizational plan and understand what I am doing.
