I am right there with you on organizing my family research work. Have tons of files handed down from my Mom and tons of photos. Trying to get a lot of it saved electronically and on Ancestry.com. Am trying to save the old photos for future generations. I want to do a work plan. As you know, you can easily get sucked into this research and get way off track. I think a work plan will help me stay focused and minimize going down that rabbit hole. Good luck to you.
