I use files in 4 different colours for the families of each of my 4 grandparents, with names written on the spines, so at least I can see at a glance which bit of my family I'm dealing with. Angela

	I find sorting out paper files almost impossible. No matter how you arrange them there always seem to be things that don't quite fit. I have settled on using plastic document wallets and I have separate ones for each surname. It's not ideal but I really can't be bothered to organise things in a better way. Kath. x

	I am sorting out my files and not quite sure which way to file things. Would I be best doing single person files or married couple and children.
