A Genealogical Legacy

Recently I was reminded that we don’t live forever. So I began wondering what type of genealogical legacy I would be leaving behind.

In considering this, I thought of at least four ways that genealogists can leave a legacy.
  1. Photos—Have they been identified, preserved and shared?
  2. Publishing—Are our research findings published in either print or digital format?
  3. People—Have we inspired and mentored new genealogists?
  4. Problem solving—Have we done real research, not just collected names from other people’s work?
