[TI] File system

[Joseph Laiacona]

I faced that problem by putting everything into binders in chronological 
order. I have some 12 binders of documents.

I did that because if you do it by family, does the wife's docs go with her 
husband or her parents? Do you get two sets of documents for each person, 
one to file with the parents, one with the spouse? Then what do you do with 
multiple spouses?

Since all the records are in my Family Tree Maker database, I can easily 
find the date and therefore find the record.

Joe
