Files, ugh.

Today I didn't hit much on the research side of things, but instead, spent most of the day sorting the many computer files of pictures.  Based on what I saw today many of the scanned pictures have duplicates and even triplicates.  It's hard to tell if that is because I've scanned the same one several times or if several copies of the same snapshot have been scanned once.
I'm amazed each time I dig in to all this how SLOW the process can be.  I am astonished by how few documents I actually scanned today, I need to stop processing and looking and just get going!  Yeah right.  That's not going to happen.  I'm trying to add as I go to the Ancestry site.  I also was able to get my hands on some really good templates to build a manual tree, family groups, information on each group and a contacts sheet.  We'll see if I can keep it up.
