Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 155 Send Message	After many years of family history researching I have decided to finally collate my efforts into a readable form starting with a ‘write up’ of individuals or families. With around 2000 names I want to keep each story in a file and am having some difficulty in thinking of series of numbers to keep both my wife and my maternal and paternal families separated in a sensible order. Might anyone have done something similar and share what they did?
