At long last we’ve released my “Preserving Past You” presentation. It is an overview of prepping for preserving your genealogical material past your lifespan. It’s not a technical presentation, but focuses on things to think about, getting started, actually doing something, thinking about what is practical to preserve, and planning as much as possible Don’t put off saving your stuff. The presentation (media file and handout) can be ordered here for immediate download.
Keep a chart of your failures–so you know where you have looked. A good column to add to this chart would be one for the reason why this person was eliminated as the person of interest. That’s a good thing to keep track of as well. —————————————- Genealogy Tip of the Day is sponsored by GenealogyBank. Search there for your relative.
I host several blogs–all have separate email lists and need to be subscribe to separately (there’s more about me here). Each has a subscription link on the top portion of each page. The blogs are: Genealogy Tip of the Day-one tip every day, rain or shine. Search Tip of the Day–one tip as they come across my path. We post periodic FamilySearch updates here as well. Rootdig–where I blog about my research, research methods, and whatever else crosses my path. Daily Genealogy Transcriber–one piece of handwriting everyday–with answers posted. Try your hand at guessing the writing. If you get one one of the lists and can’t get off, forward the message to me at mjnrootdig@gmail.com. Thanks! And please let others know about our blogs!
