Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archives----was: Source Name Filing System
I just looked at the page Geoff suggested and I pretty much do the "third approach" other than I don't give the documents a file number (I haven't used the ID field in Legacy but that is still an option). I have binders for the different types of documents and then I file them alphabetically within the binder. I put labels on the outside of the sheet protector (upper right corner) with all of the info so that I can easily flip through and find what I am looking for (trying to strain your eyes on each documents to find the right one is a bit much, even if they are in alphabetical order). michele -Original Message- From: Geoff Rasmussen Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 8:53 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Cc: 'Jenny M Benson' Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archiveswas: Source Name Filing System At http://news.legacyfamilytree.com, in the Categories section on the right (might have to scroll down a bit) click on the Organization link.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archives----was: Source Name Filing System
Here are a couple examples. I put the year of birth/death to differentiate between people with the same name. Women are filed under their maiden name. Marriages are filed under the husband's name. Simmons, Celia D. [1872-1943] Death Certificate Forrest Co, MS 23 Sep 1943 Glaentzer, Peter [1874-1940] Birth Certificate Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany 14 Jan 1874 Lewis, John [1801-1880] Will Columbia Co, GA 20 Jun 1868 Miles, James Edward [1879-1950] Lewis, Eva Mae [1891-1969] Marriage License Columbia Co, GA 24 Dec 1908 Silas Simmons [1794-1856] Compiled Service Record, War of 1812 Morris, Needham William, Jr. [1859-1949] Family Bible [some things don't have locations because they aren’t applicable] With the labels in the upper right hand corner on the outside of the sheet protectors, I can flip through a book quickly since they are in alphabetical order. You could easily adapt this to the system Geoff described in the Legacy newsletter by adding a distinct file name to each document like Birth 001 and then you could put that in the file ID field in Legacy which would give you a cross reference. michele -Original Message- From: Tim Rosenlof Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 11:05 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archiveswas: Source Name Filing System Michele, What is written on the label ?

Did I forget to say that each TYPE of document goes in a different binder? I have a 3 inch binders for Birth Records (birth certificates, newspaper announcements, etc.) Death Records (death certificates, obits, funeral cards etc.) Marriage Records (certificates/licenses/bonds, newspaper announcements etc.) Bible Records (copies of pages and transcriptions) Military Records (pensions, compiled service records, discharge from draft etc.) Education Records (diplomas, reports cards etc.) Wills and Probate (wills, administrations etc.) Church Records (member lists, church minutes etc.) Social Security Records (SS-5 apps) Land Records (land patents, headright plats, bounty land) Deeds (NON land transaction deeds) Court Records (guardianship bonds, jury lists, etc.) I use A-Z tab dividers to even make it easier to find what I am looking for.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archives----was: Source Name Filing System
I started with manila folders by Surname, and that is where my documents still are. I have 6 four drawer file cabinets. I now have some surnames using over a dozen manila folders. Compose your filing system the way you understand best. Don't worry about how others do it, unless you like the same suggestions they give.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archives----was: Source Name Filing System
Thx, Rich. That's what I like about this list. I've received suggestions that cover the entire spectrum! I like to work on my research "by family" and I tend to share information with others "by family line" ... could not imagine having to pull out almost every binder to show a cousin the relevent original documents for our common ancestor. I'm using color-coded binders right now, not manila folders--and six colors instead of four. And it's comments like yours that keep my perspective: When I'm feeling over-whelmed, I remember that my database size is small compared to many of you! ;) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams - Original Message From: RICHARD SCHULTHIES To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Tue, September 6, 2011 12:32:52 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy News Archiveswas: Source Name Filing System I started with manila folders by Surname, and that is where my documents still are.
