Got this from another list; thought some of you might be interested. To my spouse, children, or guardian, Upon my demise it is requested that you DO NOT dispose of any of my genealogical records, books, files, notebooks, or computer programs for a period of two years. During this time, please attempt to find one or more persons willing to take custody of the said materials, and the responsibility of maintaining and continuing the family histories. In the event you do not find anyone to accept these materials, please contact the genealogical organizations of which I have been a member to determine if they will accept some parts, or all of, my genealogical materials. Please remember that my genealogical endeavors have consumed a great deal of time, travel, and money. Therefore, please do not ignore my request. Signature: Date: Witness: Date: Witness:
