Missie's note is a reminder to all of us... we need to think about what will become of our research once we're gone. Some folks are adding clauses to their wills... instructions to heirs for what to do with various genealogical materials in possession of the deceased. This article should inspire you to take steps to preserve your work. http://www.rootdig.com/adn/cleaningmothershouse.html Missie <petdustbunnies@gmail.com> wrote: I was watching a genealogy podcast (roots television) --they told a story of a genealogist who had died leaving behind 40 YEARS of research...the family didn't care about it, didn't want to be bothered with it and BURNED all of her research, family bible, photos! I cried...I guess it could happen to any of us. Better put it in the Archives. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
