Actually, I don't have ANY of my Sasser family files on computer yet. What I am doing now is creating the "Sasser Family Index". I am doing this on Windows95's Works database. As of this moment, I have more than 3,200 names (ALL Sasser's--it doesn't allow for descendants in this particular Index) and I hope to work on it a lot more this weekend. I hope to soon start putting my Sasser records into my Family Tree Works family history program. My old computer had reached "overload" and went down on me before I could get started on this. Now with a new one, I have a lot more space to work with than before. This is going to take a good deal of time--and loads of typing. So please be patient... To answer the above question...yes, ALL my family collection (which numbers more than 3,000 notebooks and MANY boxes full of records) will be donated to the Georgia State Archives in Atlanta because it is the largest and most modern state archives in the South--where our family is most concentrated. When I had a heart attack and was about to go into surgery (and given only a 50-50 chance of survival), my two brothers came to me and asked for specific instructions--down to the nitty-gritty of "how big a truck", etc. More about this later... Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham
