Hi Lesley, I have left the family history that I have been collecting for over 20 years to my youngest son (26 years) in my will. Hard Copy and the scrapbooks I have of the family. I said to him, he is the keeper of it, he doesn't have to do anything with it other than look after it and pass it on to one of his children, with the same MO.. He was mortified because at the time he was not the least bit interested. But within the last 6 months he has 1. Asked about our Irish Convict heritage as he was talking to a friend who is Scottish and he 'thought' our heritage was Irish but was rather unsure. (I named him Liam!) 2. asked for a copy ( CD) of the family history - which I quickly did while he was interested 3. during a phone conversation told me it was about time that I scanned all the certificates and extras I had on to a disk in case something goes wrong. So I think I am winning this battle! regards Donna
