I agree to keep it simple *But* I still sort by family, subsort by type of document and then insert the Clooz sequential numbering. There's several logical reasons (at least to me!) for that, but I'll just list a couple: The family member who wants a document; Or my visit to a research facility where I usually focus on one family and one or a few types of records in particular. Since family research is so paper-intensive, if I were to keep all the census reports in a sequential binder, for instance, I'd still spend increasing (as the collection grows) amounts of time searching for a particular document or, heaven forbid, several documents of several different types for a new-found relative or to verify something. Although, I know, Clooz does a magnificent job of keeping all the information at my fingertips, there's still times you want that darned original or handwritten copy. This style still keeps it simple for me for the *different* reasons I'll want access to something. Even though I have one more level of sub-category (the family divisioning) than is usually suggested for Clooz, the filing is extremely easy. Since I apply the document name to the document (GIRT_Bir_001, for example) it takes any mental exercise demands out of the function of filing. If I find myself with a pile of documents from a lucky find, I simply designate each document by the appropriate label and then enter them in Clooz and then lay them into my "to file" pile. I can then sit down with my husband or the kids while they watch a chosen movie or TV program and effortlessly sort them by, first, the family names; second, the document type; and then into numerical order. At a commercial or at the end of the program, I simply take them and put them into the appropriate folders. Done. Again, the bottom line is to choose what works for you and to keep it simple. Enjoy!
