The question was what to do with all your work, when you no longer can can do it. What your suggesting, should be done before hand, throughout your searching if you are of a mind to share. This gives a free look at our lineage, but sometimes, not a look at your sources, depending on your program. When all is said and done, who would you want to get ALL your notes and copies? Everything you have? I have been thinking about this since it was posted, and I've years (hopefully) to do my own research. But I now my family is ony interested in what I find, not continuing it, If I stop, it stops with me. And I am the only one researching one side of my family. I've found no connections to any others yet to my HANCOCKS in Kentucky and Indiana. I have tons of notes, Lots of files, and proven History, I don't want to go to waste. I truthfully have no answer to this question. And I am interested in those answers that do come along about this, I don't want my work to go to waste........
