I do the same with photos, grouping digital images into folders based upon
whether the subject is people, buildings, cemeteries, etc. When the photo is

If I understand your problem correctly, it would appear that an Index by
surname that cross references digital or paper documents, filed by Document

Thanks, Mary. I've been wrestling with how to sort/file things, and I really

Filing by document type eliminates the need for duplicate copies of both paper
