Thanks Kinta, This is a good idea - everyone should make provision for "passing the torch"! I am personally interested in receiving any Acadian-Cajun-Louisiana genealogical records if there aren't any other available custodians. By the way, I have a CD entitled: Immigrant Histories: Huguenot Settlers in North America and Europe, 16600s-1900s If anyone is interested in checking a surname or a copy, please contact me off list.

Thanks, Kinta! I made provision in my will for someone in my family to "inherit" my genealogy work, but this document is a good idea to convey my exact wishes for the work. dj <<<<Genealogical Codicil to My Last Will and Testament>>>>
