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.
