Dear Michelle,
We fully believe in the simplest/easiest approach and, therefore, enter the
See Reference as part of the folder title, which obviously we're using as an
"intellectual" entity, rather than an actual physical entity. For those
that assign #s to their folders, this type of entry may throw someone off a
bit - but in that case I would simply leave the folder # off.

<did>
<container type="box">025</container>
<unittitle>Cuevas, Marquis George de (see de Cuevas, Marquis
George)</unittitle>
</did>
</c03>
For a See Also Reference, we also include it in as part of the folder
title.
<c03>
<did>
<container type="box">9</container>
<unittitle>Arnold Seligmann-Helft Corp.,
<unitdate>1940-1949 </unitdate>(see also de Batz,
Georges)</unittitle>
</did>
</c03>
Hope this helps!

Michele R.,
The reality is that the item is identified with location information
in another place in the finding aid.
Therefore, do not use the physloc element.
Either:
1. use the ref as a child of unittitle.
2. use the ref as a child of note/p.
The rest is fine.
My 2 cents.
