• Can’t find the records you know you have?

Let an archivist be your guide. Organize your US and international genealogy records. Put your family history research in order once and for all. Organize and link your digital files and paper records. No need for color codes, numbering systems, or complicated schemes with this archives-based system.

This book has been a blessing to re-organizing all of the digital files on my computer and software program. I have been researching for over 25 years and have a lot of digital research material to re-organize but it will be worth it. The methods in this book are easy to understand, simply file names, and quick to implement. It is quicker and easier to search for and manage files and photographs. I also purchased Simplifying Genealogy Sources and Citations and Cataloging Digital Family Photographs – all help simplify digital files.

I attended Nancy’s RootsTech 2018 presentation based upon this ebook. I knew half way through the session that this method of organizing was exactly what I was looking for. The ebook is well-written and easy to understand. The organization that she proposes is simple yet very powerful.
