Being that it’s Geneanet’s A Cemetery for Posterity Weekend, I’ve been thinking about ways to have me tree live on after I do. \u00a0Geneanet had an interesting blog on the 5 October 1915 by Jean-Yves regarding your genealogical tree after you’ve died. \u00a0I don’t have a tree on Geneanet but I may want to investigate doing so. \u00a0You can read the blog here: \u00a0What Happens To Your Data…<\/a><\/p>\n And then there was this interesting post in Myrt’s blog about ancestry’s\u00a0disappearing records<\/a>. \u00a0It happened to me trying to retrieve my husband’s 3 times great grandfather’s obit info. \u00a0I recently blogged about John and Mary “Mollie” O’Brien Cooke (A New Genealogy Society – What Fun! 11 October 2015). \u00a0When I was checking my saved sources on ancestry.com for the couple I couldn’t retrieve the info for John’s obit. \u00a0On the bottom right hand corner on the old ancestry version I could see the link under Source Info but when I clicked nothing appeared. \u00a0I tried to do a search through the card catalog for Historical Newspapers, Birth, Marriage, & Death Announcements, 1851-2003 using John Cooke but there were no hits. \u00a0I had a hard copy so I dug through my records and found it.<\/p>\n I’m not sure if ancestry reactivated all the records they had blocked a few weeks ago because I tried it again yesterday and I was able to access it. \u00a0Very weird! \u00a0Having records here one day and gone the next is frustrating. \u00a0That makes me want to save what I find in multiple locations to insure that the data isn’t lost.<\/p>\n If you’re a member of the National Genealogical Society one of the new benefits is obtaining access to the United States and Canada records FREE on Find My Past. \u00a0I tried last week to upload my tree as a gedcom to the site but I kept receiving an error message. \u00a0Although my tree is large it’s well within the limits of the Find My Past site. \u00a0Going to try it again today. If you’re interested in getting Find My Past, the first crack at registering for the upcoming Family History Conference to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida the first week of May, 2016, and very useful periodicals, you can join here<\/a>,<\/p>\n Another though I had was the idea of creating ebooks on my lines once I’ve obtained genealogical certification. \u00a0I could then download the ebook and print a hardcopy. \u00a0I would include snips of the pertinent records in the text so if the original disappears there would still be a picture available.<\/p>\n So many ideas – so little time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Originally published on genealogyatheart.blogspot.com on 18 Oct 2015.
