Great advice for all of us from Ernie: Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: Ernie Kent To: Paul Drake Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [OHPICKAW] Re: CD's Paul, As a professional webmaster I would also add the following considerations: 1. Anything on a web server is stored on a hard disk and those blow out every few years of operation. 2. If hosted on a professional hosting service there are (hopefully) tape backups, but those too are subject to problems and may be missing, not made, or damaged in writing. Further, if there is a fire, probably both the disk drives and the backup tapes are lost. I've too often lost a client's web site to a disk failure only to find the host's backups were bad or non-existant. 3. If the domain name expires (usually renewed annually) you can only access the site through the IP number. If the host changes the machine ( a frequent occurance) the IP number changes. You could wind up with your data intact but no way to access it. My own personal solution is to put everything on CDs, along with copies of the programs and operating systems required to read that data. (The programs and operating systems we used ten years ago are generally no longer available.) If the technology moves beyond CDs I will move my data to the new technology. I should (but am as yet too lazy) keep copies of the CDs in my bank vault against the possibility of fire. Best, Ernie Kent

Hello, Clay. If I understand you to be saying that LDS will store CDs and such like, based on what I have been told and not on any very good science, I am uncomfortable with the fact that discs do deteriorate. If so, I rather suspect that such takes place in much less time than would archival paper. Genealogy without documentation is nothing.

Regarding family histories and other genealogy materials would it not be a better idea to give a copy to the LDS? They preserve everything about family histories and genealogy in the granite mountain in Utah. The LDS are currently scanning everything they have preserved in the granite mountain and over the next couple of years will make it available on the internet. The great thing about this is they have also been going to state archives and county courthouses and scanning all their old documents so that soon all of them will be on the net. This would include all those old wills, court, land, estate and other documents that now we must travel to the various courthouse to access. Of course some would still like to do that just for the feel and smell of all those old musty, dusty papers, plus the thrill of seeing your great-great-greats actual signature. Clay

Lisa has asked a question pertinent to the work of all of us: ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa ....l To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 9:55 AM Subject: Re: CD's I would imagine that an untended site would fade but if one were to use something like the Family Tree Maker's service where one's book is published to the web and then accessible through its URL would we have to assume that it would expire even if attended? I am not suggesting that this should be used instead of printing but was wondering if it could be reliable for the foreseeable future. I have not done this-but am planning to and am wondering if it makes more sense to create my own website over which I have control. It may not be able to be Googled after some years but as long as it is still maintained could it not go indefinitely? Lisa ********* My response was (subject to the additions/correction of those of you who know a lot more about it than do I): Simply put, the internet is just like a bulletin board. You may post a message, and it will remain there till it rots away, but it may also be gone in 5 minutes or even less. Any server or site owner (or owner of a bulletin board) may arbitrarily remove whatever they wish from their site for any reason or may simply go out of business. As with my website, I may remove or change it at a whim, and if I do not pay Charter it will become unavailable since they will discontinue my service. So, though some or all of it may have been stored by a search service such as Google or by some other person or entity that has chosen to save it, it will only be available at the site at which I or that other business or person who stored it chooses to have it remain. In short, we would be silly to presume that our postings will be available even this afternoon. Genealogy without documentation is nothing. Paul Drake JD Genealogist & Author <www.DrakesBooks.com>

A word on backups - remember that no backup is any better than the storage site for it. If it's stored in the same location as the original, it will be destroyed in the same fire. So make backups of your computer files or any important documents you may have - but store them somewhere else - take them to your office - your mother's - your babysitter's - anywhere! Part of my job prior to my first retirement (obviously not a taker!) was disaster recovery for a multimillion dollar computer system. We ran backups every day for every file and they were immediately shipped offsite to another building of our's. For my current shop, we run backups daily and whoever is handy takes them home. It's simple - just get them out of the building where the original is! And one more thing - (ok then I'll hush) - scan any photos to files and take them too. And take pictures of your house - furniture - silver - jewelry - everything! Thousands of Katrina victims wish they had! This is something I still need to do because I live on the ocean and will have to evacuate someday too. Bev In a message dated 1/12/2006 1:09:31 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: 2.

I assumed these were available thru LDS Films, but I seem to have been mistaken. Will someone clear me up on where I might find these records, either book form or film. Hopefully they are available.

The following is forwarded as information to all interested parties. ------------------ORIGINAL MESSAGE----------------------- Owner of Sago Mine Sets Up Memorial Fund Posted 1/5/2006 03:04 PM Millions pouring into memorial fund for miners families. . Story by The Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The owner of the mine where 12 men died after an explosion says hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring into a memorial fund the company set up. In an interview with The Associated Press today Wilbur Ross says ordinary working people are giving ten and twenty dollars. He says a competitor in the mining industry - Massey Energy of Richmond, Virginia - donated $250,000 dollars. Ross says he knows money won't replaced loved ones but 100 percent of the money will go to the dead miners' families, including $2,000,000 dollars donated by his company International Coal Group. ICG runs the Sago Mine in Tallmansville where the miners died after the blast early Monday morning. To Contrinute to the Sago Mine Fund Call: Toll-Free (800) 811-0441 Copyright 2005 Associated Press.
