organizing, physical and digital files
Once again I am using this blog as a way to organize my struggles, in the hope i will figure out a solution, or at least phrase the problem, in a way that others may help. I started with one of the physical file I inherited, based on my correspondence with someone in Germany trying to connect our ancestors. There is other information on the region and family in the file. There should be a document tracking the effort and comparing the church data to familysearch. This is a recent process with a proliferation of such documents, because I keep getting preempted. An overview is needed. It's a pity I can't use Google docs to build an index with cross referencing other documents. Do I want to switch tools? Naming convention I hope they are all somewhere under the genealogy folder. This file is one of many that I inherited and am calling dad's archive. I have started a finders aid in a Google doc outlining the contents. I feel like it makes sense to print off the file relev
