Kinta, Please do not think my comments were intended to be argumentative. That was not my intent at all. And I realize that the days are long gone when grandma wrote names on various items she wanted a particular person to have and her wishes would be carried out. I also realize that in many families that tactic is not a good choice and certainly didn't turn out to be in the experience I related. I think Wanda makes a good point and all that I was suggesting was that a general or specific wish expressed in a will without naming a legatee to receive the genealogical material might be difficult to enforce. Perhaps the enforceability of such will provisions varies from state to state. I just know that many folks, yourself no doubt included, have spent many years accumulating very valuable genealogical data that we want to share with our family, friends and descendants. But unfortunately not everyone in the family shares our passion for genealogy but thank goodness for those who do and especially for those who are willing to help others locate their ancestors. Many of my family lines work their way back to South Carolina so I'm always looking for any information on the Kirbys, Sparks, Garners and Lipscombs. I have many brick walls there I'm still working on. And I am very grateful for the help I have received from many other researchers but can't help but worry about all my work going for naught since none of my children or grandchildren have shown any interest in genealogy. I can only hope someday they will.

What you experienced was, hopefully, unusual. I am not an attorney but do use the services of an excellent firm. If the statement I gave is IN THE BODY of the will or trust of the deceased there is law to aid in the enforcement of the terms. If items are "in an envelope addressed to someone" I can see where there is not A way to enforce the deceased wishes. My attorney said what I have IN MY WILL makes my wishes definite and by law must be carried out. I do not wish to get into a debate as we are not attorneys -- I only offerEd the verbage to help some one to be sure their wishes were IN THEIR WILL -- not just on a note or envelope. Kinta -----Original Message----- From: Rex Kirby [mailto:rex@tyler.net] Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 4:43 PM To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: RE: [SC] Suggestions The language suggested by Kinta is certainly better than nothing but a word of caution...As drafted it is not legally enforceable and is based on the assumption that the executor or executrix of the estate will honor the wishes of the decedent. But that is not always the case. Case in point: My late wife's brother had researched several lines of their family for years and had accumulated a respectable amount of data. And from time to time our discussions of family seemed to more or less end with his promise he would send me a copy but he never did. Some sixty days or so after his death I learned for the first time that he had indeed made a copy of what he had, put it in a large envelope and wrote my name on it with a note to please give it to me if something should happen to him. This was several years after my wife died, he was single, both parents deceased and no other brothers or sisters. He knew I was working on my wife's family for the sake of our grandkids. For several years his will provided that my oldest son would be Executor but my son and his family had moved from Texas to Georgia so a few days before my brother-in-law died for whatever reason he amended his will to name his first cousin Executrix. She cleaned house so to speak and to this day three years down the road I don't know what happened to the envelope of family data he had copied for me. Nor do I know what happened to the diary my late father-in-law kept while he was a POW for three years during WWII. But I did learn that the Executrix sold my brother-in-law's computer at a garage sale but only after she deleted all of his files and personal data. How kind of her. I have related this personal experience because I know first hand that what a person wants expressed generally may not happen. So my suggestion would be to back up your data on several CDs frequently, print out family reports and make copies and name one or more individuals and/or genealogy societies and/or libraries as a legatee by name. Then follow that provision in your will with the general wish paragraph to anyone interested. Contact your local genealogy society and library and find out the specific details of what they will accept and their preferred format. Also post all that you can on various message boards and share with family and friends. Otherwise all your work may wind up in the city dump.

The language suggested by Kinta is certainly better than nothing but a word of caution...As drafted it is not legally enforceable and is based on the assumption that the executor or executrix of the estate will honor the wishes of the decedent. But that is not always the case. Case in point: My late wife's brother had researched several lines of their family for years and had accumulated a respectable amount of data. And from time to time our discussions of family seemed to more or less end with his promise he would send me a copy but he never did. Some sixty days or so after his death I learned for the first time that he had indeed made a copy of what he had, put it in a large envelope and wrote my name on it with a note to please give it to me if something should happen to him. This was several years after my wife died, he was single, both parents deceased and no other brothers or sisters. He knew I was working on my wife's family for the sake of our grandkids. For several years his will provided that my oldest son would be Executor but my son and his family had moved from Texas to Georgia so a few days before my brother-in-law died for whatever reason he amended his will to name his first cousin Executrix. She cleaned house so to speak and to this day three years down the road I don't know what happened to the envelope of family data he had copied for me. Nor do I know what happened to the diary my late father-in-law kept while he was a POW for three years during WWII. But I did learn that the Executrix sold my brother-in-law's computer at a garage sale but only after she deleted all of his files and personal data. How kind of her. I have related this personal experience because I know first hand that what a person wants expressed generally may not happen. So my suggestion would be to back up your data on several CDs frequently, print out family reports and make copies and name one or more individuals and/or genealogy societies and/or libraries as a legatee by name. Then follow that provision in your will with the general wish paragraph to anyone interested. Contact your local genealogy society and library and find out the specific details of what they will accept and their preferred format. Also post all that you can on various message boards and share with family and friends. Otherwise all your work may wind up in the city dump.

Hi Belle, I have always been interested in the BOBO family. We have a CROW line from Spartanburg Co, SC to Bartow/Cass County, GA. In the records of the GA county there is a Spencer Bobo CROW, and I know that Spencer BOBO is one of the BOBO family names.

Glad to know that many are concerned about what happens to their work. I have already made up a few family 'books' with my information using the FTM 2005 program and its forms.I have already sent 'books' to several family members that are interested and have helped me gather information. I use good quality looseleaf binders so they can add to it as they wish. They have all been pleased with this way of saving the information for others to see. Lots of work but I enjoy doing it and the sharing that goes with it. Most of my ancestors were from South Carolina. Abbeville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Charleston, etc. Bobo,Calhoun, Haynie, McDonald, Mulkey. Belle North Las Vegas, Nv.

Thank you both so much for a reminder...we should all take this precaution. ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Compton <cscompton@centurytel.net> Date: Monday, February 6, 2006 10:21 am Subject: RE: [SC] Suggestions > Kinta: > > EXCELLENT !

> Now for my question: No one lives forever and when my time comes ... What happens to my family genealogy files? The reason for my question is that no one in my family has any interest in my hobby. What should I do so that my data is not lost forever? > Family research: Hutto, Lorick, Frick's of SC > Any suggestions? Thanking you in advance. > Ray Hutto (SC born) > RayHutto@Yahoo.Com Any local Genealogy Society or the SC state archives would love to have your collection. We have several collections at our local one from people such as you who have put lots of love and work into it. Anyone is allowed to look at the files and such. Why wait until you are not around to control it? Send copies of your stuff now so you can make sure it goes where you want. Send several copies to several places. How about putting the files on Rootsweb? Lots of people from all over the world look on there. Cathy

The subject above sould be of interest to all of us, but I want to thank Ray Hutto for reminding us that we should make provisions for the work that has taken years, time and $$ to collect. For 15 years I worked with a history teacher of the local school district as the district's genealogist. When the Salt Lake City Genealogical Library learned of so much research, they asked if I would put it on floppies and send. I did. SLC placed those disks on the Ancestral File, NOT only for members of the church, but also a worldwide source. This file is much different than the I.G.I., most of which has been supplied by members for ordinance work. The only small problem with the above is that I receive letters from people who think those family records are mine. Audrey

Kinta: Thank you for your reply, sounds great. This is one reply that I WILL make happen. I have yet rec'd your message but was able to read it from the message that Charlie replied to. Thanks to the "lIST" for all your help in this matter. Great ideas.
