I liked Cathy's idea for numbering documents, and I think I'll try that. I started entering documents but wasn't satisfied with the ease of lookup either. This just might do it. I have mostly entered census records. I use this type of numbering: OH-Han-1850-001 That's the state, county, year, and number. The reason I do this is that I don't want to have to go to the Clooz database to do a lookup every single time I want to find a census record. This numbering organizes my manuals so that I have a limited number of records to look through to find one. It also allows me a quick check method for just perusing the manuals to find neighbors or detail data without looking into Clooz. I've found that, using TMG, I do better to enter just the basic info for families into Clooz, and put the detail data into TMG. By basic I mean name, age, township & county, and that's about it. That's really all you get on the Clooz comparative reports, as far as I can tell. Someone asked if anyone had found a report that shows the details; I haven't, and that's why I don't enter them. The only report I've found that shows the details of census data is the one where you print out the actual census form for a given entry. If the data doesn't appear on a report that compares similar persons, I don't see the point of entering all that data just to have it on the one census abstract form. Len
