This Thursday I get to present a Virtual Chapter meeting for the Utah Genealogical Association with my Dad. We've given this presentation at RootsTech and at the BYU Family History Conference and I really enjoy presenting this one because it is something that we all deal with. How do we work together to deal with all the stuff we've inherited?Here is the description:
Great
Grandfather was a wonderful genealogist, but even with the best plan, three
generations later some of his treasures are now hard for family members to
find. This Father and Daughter team
wants to do better. What is the best
plan for digitizing and archiving the items in their family history boxes? Where do they find the time and resources to
implement that plan? Where do we put the
most important items so that all of the family can find them? How do they make sure that all future
generations have access to the stories, artifacts and pictures that bring
recent and current generations to life?
