Why see your life's work and interest go to the dump. The editor of the publication listed below was asked what one might do if there is no family interested in research we might leave behind. Seen in "The Certified Copy," Vol. 30, No. 3, Fall 2001, pg. 76, published by Cleveland Gen. Society, Cleveland OH: A Genealogical Codicil to My Last Will and Testament To my spouse, children, or guardian. Upon my demise it is requested that you DO NOT dispose of any or all of my Genealogical records, books, files, notebooks or computer programs for a period of two years. During this time period, please attempt to identify one or more persons who would be 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 various genealogical organizations that I have been a member of and determine if they will accept some parts or all of my genealogical materials. [List of organizations and addresses at bottom.] Please remember that my genealogical endeavors consumed a great deal of time, travel, and money. Therefore please do not ignore my requests.
