Here is how I am using the Mavericks Tags system with my genealogy work...
I am using the Mavericks Tag system to identify my genealogy main lines. I don't tag individuals...just the surname folders. Here is what I use:
Purple - General genealogy info
Red - Gen-Stroop
Blue - Gen-Mushalik
Yellow - Gen-Bell (my brother-in-law's lines)
Right now I am using the orange & green tags for neighbors whose lines I am researching.
Gray - not using right now.
If the surname folder is for a common name used in several lines, I add all the appropriate tags to that surname folder. I'm thinking I may put separate folders inside with the appropriate line names and tags and take off the tags on the main surname folder. We'll see.
It's really nice to click on the tag of the line I want (from the Finder sidebar) and have only those folders show up. I haven't done them all, doing them as I need/use them.
I think this will be especially helpful when I want to add the folders to a CD/DVD to send to someone in a specific family line.
Anyway, an idea for you all.
