I purchased this book to help me learn more about different systems that could be used to organize the inevitable pile of papers that accrue for most genealogists. After reading the book (and rereading it in case I really just missed the point), I still can't understand how Mr. Langman suggests these miscellaneous papers be organized.He recommends a color tabbed system that includes your four main surmanes and couples that is simple, but never explaines how the system can accomodate more than 5 generations. He simply repeats himself and makes confusing statements about the types of records that should be stored in the files.This book does not give value to anyone who has even rudimentary organizational skills. Consider other genealogy books for a more thorough explanation of organizational systems for genealogists.
