I am looking for suggestions or feedback from Clooz users about how they organize their physical documents. Prior to using Clooz, I organized the documents around the "person" or "family." Clooz has forced me to be more document oriented. For example, do Clooz users file all of their census records together by locale or some other way? Do you keep all birth certificates together, all death certificates together, etc.? I would appreciate any help. Gloria C.

I know some people file their census records by state. I file all of my documents sequentially regardless of type (census, birth, marriage, obits, school records, etc). I file legal size copies in legal size binders but also filed sequentially. If I need to find anything, I know it's file number by looking in Clooz. At first, I separated by birth, marriage, etc but then I didn't see the point. So I now intermingle them. Hopefully, other people will respond to the list and will give their suggestions and reasons for filing in other ways.

Hi I use the standard method suggested in the manual. So far the only thing I wished I had done different is keeping all the US census in one file. I don't have that many, and it would have been easier. I have a number of them for Great Britain and Sweden, which I file just by the Country. One of the reason's I have kept the recommend filing system, is my sister and I already had the same system for filing before Clooz. We do our research together, I keep the Clooz file on what we have, and she files the same way I do. We use the print out as an index of what we have in each category and file it in the front of each type of document. This way a printout give us a quick reference to what we have and when we go to the library we can take a Index notebook with us for reference Judy Lindley. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patty Lill" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 5:01 AM Subject: Re: [Clooz] Organizing the Physical Documents > I know some people file their census records by state.
