Regarding Keith Buck's genealogical research and the disinterest of other
family members to store his research of years: I believe the best course
would be to donate the entire collection to his local genealogical society.

Subject: Who do you leave your research to?
I am posting this on both lists that I subscribe to, and I am not
even
sure if this subject is relevant to either site, so please forgive me for
posting it if I am wrong.
I am single, never married, no children, have health issues, but have lots
of
relatives. I have been working on genealogy for some 35 years and have
built up quite a library with hundreds of three ring binders, lots of CD's,
I have scanned and organized nearly 9000 or more family pictures going back
to the 1860's, plus I have lots of books that I have aquired over the years,
plus lots of other stuff. My dilema is that I have done this as a hobby and
it has been a great enjoyment for me and others, but I have not been able
to find a relative that is interested in carrying on this project or trying
to keep what I have in one collection. I am not ready to go yet, but this is
a situation that I think about.
I am not sure if there are others that are in this same situation. Do I
ask, that
when I go that it all be destroyed or tossed out or what?
What do others do?
Thanks
Keith Buck
