I have two bbinder that I work in per surname one for photos and documents and the other binder for correspondence. I only have two binder per person, meaning my father came from Davis and Scott and anything pertaining to those names even though the last name may change is in those binders. My mothers parents were Hanson and Wilson and anything that pertains to those families are in those binders with a corresponding binder for photos and documents.
