Topic and Description "Organization, Schmorganization—Who Needs It?" There are almost as many ways to organize your genealogy as there are ancestors, but we all have to do it to avoid confusion and duplication of work.  It seems like a daunting task, but once it is done, it is relatively easy to maintain.  Besides tips and tricks to keep your documents nice and tidy, we’ll review some computer file structures that will give you quick and easy access to your digital information. There will be no prepared handout.
