My computer is starting to labour in the same pathetic way as my refrigerator did without proper maintenance, and tonight seems like a good one to try to consolidate two libraries into one (Thanks to a backup, a robbery did not talk my photos away this time, but did hide them and create duplicates!).
I found a nice video that seems like a good place to start: My Albums. They had run away, honestly, and it was great to eliminate them in one fell swoop, with the reassurance that the pictures were all still there.
Next, I created folders that were each year (1911 was NOT the first picture, despite that being posted as the case), then smart albums, and those can be subdivided into groups, which is what I wanted all along!) There is a place to update the correct dates. He gives a practical suggestion to focus on the correct year.
Wish me luck! If you want to see the details, watch David here.
Useful keys:
shift allows you to highlight the first and last in a sequence and select those in between
command A = select all
command N = new album
