“Genealogy Estate Planning Made Simple”
Presented by Dr. Thomas F. Willer
At some point in life, we genealogists recognize that we will sooner or later pass from “this mortal coil.” What happens to our life’s work of genealogy software, photos, documents, and miscellaneous related materials? Two options: do nothing and throw fate to the wind, or, plan for its preservation. Many extant articles provide detailed instructions on how to designate the future of your genealogy materials after you pass away. Usually, they require a great input of your time and mental acumen. In my talk, I provide a precise and simple solution, namely, fill out a one-page form and you are done. Overcome inertia!!! It takes only one hour. I will outline the issue and walk attendees through the short process. It is doable! I hope everyone will recognize that genealogy estate planning can be simple!
Tom is currently a long-time member of the Lake County Illinois Genealogy Society. He discovered genealogy as a natural progression from his college degrees in history. Family lore and history seemed a natural orientation. Like many genealogists, he interviewed family members. His father-in-law lived to be one hundred years old and had an utterly unbelievable memory. He was born in 1917 and recalled that his mother inherited some money in 1926. She and her husband decided to build a kitchen onto their small frame house in Kewanee, Illinois. I asked him if he knew the name of the carpenter who did the work. Although only nine years old, he recalled the name of the handyman. His amazing recollection energized Dr. Willer into serious genealogy investigation.
