Elaine, You, of all people, should understand how important it is to preserve memories of your current life for your descendants since you apparently do not have photos of your ancestors. I HAD two albums of photos, etc that ere lost in Hurricane Alicia in 1983. Fortunately, I have many cousins and a brother who loaned their photos to me so I could recover many of the photos I had lost. They could not replace the photos I had of WWII and the horrors of Dachau, etc or those of friends, some of whom are fertilizing American cemeteries in Europe. I hope that many out there will not need such memories to prod them into memorializing their lives for future generations. I put my suggestion on Rootsweb for Dutchess, Schoharie and Otsego counties and am delighted with the responses and the suggestions that I have seen.
