Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2004 12:36:56 -0500


Hi Listers,

This came to me from another mailing list I am on and
I thought it was a terrific thing. I am sure you are
all like me and have spent hundreds of hours gathering
information, it would be a shame to see it lost in
the next generation. Hope it does some good.



Genealogical Codicil to My Last Will and Testament

To my spouse, children, guardian, administrator and/or
executor:


Upon my demise it is requested that you DO NOT dispose
of any or all of my genealogical records, both those
prepared personally by me and those records prepared
by others which may be in my possession, including but

not limited to 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. [If you know whom
within your family or friends are likely candidates to
accept these materials, please add the following at
this point: "I suggest that the persons contacted
regarding the assumption of the custody of these items
include but not be limited to" and then list the names
of those individuals at this point, with their
addresses and telephone numbers if known]


In the event you do no 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,
addresses and phone numbers at bottom; include local
chapters, with their addresses, phone numbers and
contact persons if available as well as state/national
contact information and addresses]

Please remember that my genealogical endeavors
consumed a great deal of time, travel, and money.
Therefore it is my desire that the products of
these endeavors be allowed to continue in a manner
that will make them available to others in the future.
