Alrighty then – so here is a video on how I organize my own genealogy. This video was created to show you my method and the importance of finding a method that works for you. Remember – that with organizing information – it has to be organized in a way that works for you. Sometimes not one specific way will work for you.
Hope you enjoy! And as always – I LOVE the comments you guys leave me. Thank you so much!

I’ve been doing genealogy for over 20 years and I learned some things by watching your video. My favorite tip was to color code the file folders based on parental lineage. Great job, thank you so much for sharing. This video should be number 1 on youtube!

Thanks. My Aunt is the one who got me interested in genealogy – and long story short I’ve been bitten by the genealogy bug ever since.
Congrats on getting another binder! By the way – be careful on the e-files, make sure that you update them a bunch, back everything up, and that other family members know how to access the information (I know it sounds morbid, but we won’t be around forever and we want our descendants to be able to discover our research)

Enjoyed your presentation very much. I think you hit the nail on the head with your advise about using a system that works for you — that it has to be an organizational method you will use! Great job!
I’m off to set up some file folders!

( And yes, I just said today that I needed another binder. It will make binder number 5. I’m slowly moving towards e-files. The binders are beginning to be a hassle. Thanks for the video.
GREAT video! It’s nice to see a young person interested in genealogy. What or who got you started? I wish my filing cabinet was that organized.
