[LegacyUG] Keeping track of attached documents

2010-05-13 Thread gcr...@juno.com
I have scanned, several hundred events (obits, wills, marriage/death certificates etc) over the years. I've been organizing them of late and have them stored in one folder rather than scattered all over my HD in various places. I started attaching a few to the respective individuals in my
