I prefer to have fewer folder with more things in them and naming the items so they sort alphabetically. I actually use Family Line as the main folder with subfolders for event/record type (Birth, Death, Marriage, Homes, Photos, etc.) Something I do with naming marriage related files is just label it something like Anderson_Steele_MarrCert so I have the bride and grooms last name and an abbr of the type of record. For a file with an obit, I would put Anderson_Alvin_Obit. If I had multiple people with the same first/last name, then I might enter a birth date (Anderson_Alvin_b1885_Obit). The important thing is that whatever system you adopt makes sense to you.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-50398358341145935632009-08-17T23:50:30.226-07:002009-08-17T23:50:30.226-07:00I did try Clooz.

Actually FTM 2009 is more sophisticated in this process. The drawback is that if you change a file name, folder or the file path in any way, the link is lost. The only advantage of Clooz or FTM linking is that it is easier to enter comments than in the Windows properties for a file. Clooz and FTM also have a couple small reports. Since I file 1,000's of files and often make changes that affect the file path, linking is more trouble than it is worth.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-76352991469139386262008-10-21T15:45:00.000-07:002008-10-21T15:45:00.000-07:00Has anyone tried the Clooz software program for in...Has anyone tried the Clooz software program for indexing their genealogical data? I started it several times but I can't seem to be able to back up my files to a disc and everytime I have a computer breakdown, there goes my Clooz program and I have to start all over. I really liked the system for helping me to locate my documents but it isn't any good if I have to spend all my research time reentering all my Clooz data.N Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631304682654751511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-90480584736068448052008-10-10T06:39:00.000-07:002008-10-10T06:39:00.000-07:00Randy,I like your folder structure in general, but...Randy,<BR/><BR/>I like your folder structure in general, but one thing to keep in mind is the filename length limitation in Windows (256 characters for XP and 260 for Vista). The filename length includes the full path, so after imbedding many folders, the length can get large without realizing it.<BR/><BR/>DamonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358515367100039890noreply@blogger.com
