It's a programme designed to keep electronic track of the records you've accumulated and can also be used to keep track of the paper. Once properly set up, it will give you a complete picture of what records you have for each person in your d/b. One just has to get used to the idea of filing docs by type rather than by family name. I bought Clooze several years ago and started to use it but found it very labour intensive to set up. I've since abandoned it, mainly because it had no specific category for parish register records other than 'Miscellaneous' which was starting to get very unwieldy. All my research is in the UK and most of my records consist of data from parish registers. Even though there were pages set up for the UK, censuses, I honestly thought that the programme was more geared to US research. Nothing basically wrong with the prog, you understand, but if you have large data files it will be a long job to get everything set up. A great deal of thought has to be applied to the numbering system you use. I made several false starts. I'm sorry that it didn't work for me. (I did like the idea of filing docs by type rather than by family name, though, and have since followed that idea very successfully. I can put my hands on any doc within seconds--even without Clooze!)
