I do about the same. One drawer has files as family names, with info with everything found on that name. Another drawer has e-mail. Started with one folder, then went to family names. This has also gone to some people haveing there own folders. When you find relatiives, the e-mail info really flys. LOL These folders just keep getting biger as time goes by. We share whatever we find, with each other. I also use the cardboard that comes with some sleves to seperate families. These are just a bit bigger than the folders. Folders get names of person, addy & address. If I have to copy something, and sent it by mail, the info is at hand.
