Directory tree: being more specific
* Top directory is <upper case letter><lower case start of range>-<lower case end of range>, ie ''Aa-z'' for all the ''A''s or ''Sl-z'' for surnames starting with ''Sl'' through to ''Sz''. This may look like overkill but it is primarily to avoid directories with letters in only one case as these can change case without warning on older Windows systems, breaking file paths.
* Start words in directory names with capitals so Windows file systems don't change the case.
* Once a family starts (shared address, children or legal union) they join any common files go into a dual family name directory, (alphabetically sorted, ) ie: ''Jensen__Williams'' and not ''Williams__Jensen''.
