I put all my pictures in albums, for instance,with my brother, I put all his pictures on one page with all his family & etc. Hope this helps, good luck.
When I had this problem, I took envelopes and sorted them by approximate date. I had a pile from childhood, from the teenage years, college, before kids, etc. Then I can take each separate group and organize them better. I've been taking each group and doing scrapbooks, which is slow going but very nice when they are done.
There are also photo boxes with photo sized tabs to further help organize them.
Good luck!
I found photo boxes at my local dollar store. They come with dividers and you could sort by person in photos, by location, by year, by occasion, whatever you want. Or get a couple of multi-pocket expandable file folders with write-able tabs in the same place and do it that way.
I separated my photos by the person; all of the photos for my nephew in one pile, my niece in another, etc.
Then I started with them as infants and up till now. I put any photos that I was unsure of in the back of the album.
I made quick work of it and didn't make myself crazy by trying to remember where exactly the photos went; I guestimated, but I finished quickly, which was my goal.
It's funny because I did the same thing with my husband's children and showed it to them. They thought I made it for them and took them home!
But they loved having all their photos in one place and I think that's the thing.
Any photos of families I put in a separate album. Like photos of my sister, her ex, and their two children. went very quickly!
I did this a few years ago. First I sat down and looked at every picture and wrote on the back WHO was in the photo and if possible, where. So many old family pictures I have we are unsure who the person is. Then I seperated them by year to the best of my ability and put them is photo storage boxes I bought at a craft store for cheap.

All my current cameras are digital; and that in itself helps them to be organized. When I take a disc to load unto my computer, I put it under "camera, to be organized."
In your snapshots or photographs, be sure to label or identify on the back, who are in the picture, the date or year when it was taken.
