It seems to me that anyone contemplating going digital should have a specific, easy to implement plan for who will preserve your life's work and how they will do it should something unexpected happen to you the day after you throw away your last piece of paper. (Never mind keeping up with the constant changes in formats).
IMO, it is a dangerous step to take unless you have such a plan in place and complete faith in your surviving family and/or friends' desire and ability to use and maintain your computer files. I can't speak for others, but the people I will leave behind are more likely to look at and keep my physical photographs and papers than my hard drive, back-ups, CDs, etc. Connie Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
