@new_haven_county_superior_court_files -> includes -> @nhsc_baai_costs_1790_collection# Reorganization Summary The files were organized primarily by the individuals mentioned in the documents (Prince Negro, Tom Negro, and Zadock Negro) and secondarily by year (1790). Files that didn't directly mention these individuals were grouped separately as 'Other costs'. Each group includes both the original image files and their corresponding reference files. The overlap in the Zadock group with the Prince group reflects that document RG003_NHSC_BAAI_PS_Costs_NegroPrinceTomZadock_005 contains costs for both individuals. ## Groups Created - **Prince_Negro_costs_1790**: Documents related to costs associated with Prince Negro's apprehension and boarding in 1790 - **Tom_Negro_costs_1790**: Documents related to costs associated with Tom Negro's apprehension and boarding in 1790 - **Zadock_Negro_costs_1790**: Documents related to costs associated with Zadock Negro's boarding in 1790 - **Other_costs_1790**: Documents related to other costs from 1790 that don't directly mention Prince, Tom, or Zadock
