    1. Re: Organization
    2. I don't like to keep info in my e-mail.  It only makes my e-mail too cumbersome. So,  if I have info in e-mail or mailing list, from web page or whatever, I use my edit feature and copy to the notebook or word pad ( if larger).  Then I go to my Genealogy folder and open the appropriate folder and paste.  This allows all my genealogy to be together. Within the large Genealogy folder, I have many folders.  Each family has a folder for info I am pretty certain about.  I have a Research folder  within each family for things I need to look into later. I also use Legacy to keep all my certain info together.  Each person has an info part that allows me to tell a story about a certain highlight of their life. I also have a folder that is for urls to look into later.  I use the same notebook feature to copy and paste.  Anytime I am searching or reading my mail, I open the notebook for easy access.  I just keep it minimized at the bottom of the screen.  That way I don't have to rely on my writing it down. If I want to go to it, I copy it and paste it in the web search area. I do house clean occasionally by deleting info in the folders if it is in Legacy. Paperwork is kept in a file cabinet.  It is organized like the computer for easy finding. Hope this helps. Karen Layus
