You could try making photocopies of each cert then you can have some in family groups, others in chronological order, others in separate b, m or d files.

Bang go a few more trees! unless you save the image to computer and put it in several files on your computer.

I generally find it easier to keep family groups together but I guess whatever works for you!

This may seem trivial - but it's taxing me at the moment. I'm trying to put my FH certificates in a sensible order but am not sure what makes things easier to find? Keeping B/M/D all together for the same person, or keeping family groups together, or filing alphabetically, or filing by date order.....

Has anyone decided on a system that really works for them?

Cheers
