For All, Regardless of who you plan on leaving your research to, make four or five complete copies and donate them to your State Library, County Library and the counties your ancestors came from. It would also be great to send a copy to LDS or Ancestry.com. We have a situation where a family member worked years on our line when he passed on, his wife had his research. She then gave it to a niece who did not work with it or donate it. The last we heard was it was in a shed someplace and that was twenty-five years ago. If you are going to do all this work, it is well worth protecting for the future. Penny
