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.
