	Thats so organised of you - I wish I was like that - I downloaded a will the other day - wrong bloke and then I thought DOH, Ive downloaded this one before. I guess I go by my FTM program - if you have a cert you enter all the info on there so you know which you have.

Each file is subdivided into main line surnames and each cert is kept in an acid free plastic pocket. If it is a marriage cert I always file those in the man's name. It works for me. Linda
