No Descendants? No Problem! Where to Donate Your Genealogical Materials
Image by rawpixel It's a reality that not all family historians have direct descendants or interested relatives to whom they can bestow their hard-won discoveries. “What will happen to all my work?” they rightly wonder. Curious about this very topic, I wrote about several repositories which might accept a donation of various types of genealogical materials for an article that appeared in the December 2023 issue of Stirpes , the journal of the Texas State Genealogical Society. With the permission of the editors, I'm sharing the article here. Just click the PDF below to read “No Descendants? No Problem!
