Of course, in my case, I don't do any genealogy - Dad's done it all, printed 4 books on the subject, and even has two very-large LDS films (perhaps they're all that large - I wouldn't know) comprising his 10,000 or so (my guess) entries of MY ancestors <gr> - - - - - available from friendly LDS centers near you. And Dad's working on another supplement...... at 96. But I have tremendous numbers of maps - more than just Irish, hundreds of Irish books....... and about 12,000 books in toto. And, of course, thousands of photo negatives - over 4000 from Ireland alone. So what do I do with all of that? One of my granddaughters suggested converting my entire house into a public/private library. It's a possibility. With my parents only 11 months away from their 75th wedding anniversary, I hope I have a bit more time to decide. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
