I have folders for each family unit or line (depending on how much info I have) with plastic sleeves so that I can add anything any everything I find .....certificates, census details, photos, bits of information. |

I have four main folders, one each for my four grandparent's families. In this, I have filed by generation, starting with a family group sheet at the front, then census records, any certificates for that family and then any other info I have got for that particular family. Then the same again for the next generation and so on. |

I have a lever arch full of paper-based notes and print outs. I want to keep them in case something (God forbid) should happen to my electronic folder. I couldn't bear losing everything. |
