Organising Your Family History

It's taken me a long long time to get myself organised, no system is perfect, believe me! Mine has evolved and been adapted over the years, normally when I have been unable to find something when I needed it most, or I have downloaded or ordered a certificate twice!

I have added pictures and written up how my system works. I use a lot of templates and sheets that I have made for myself, if anybody wants a copy of any of these, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

I admire your organisation :-D Good idea to have notebooks the same colour as the folder titles, one to think about if ever I get around to it! ( like so many other things I should get around to!)
