The better question is why save hard copy of anything?
I save probably too much paper for a # of reasons (yes, do backup to CD's as
well):
1. Many of the papers have information not necessarily recognized at the
time as having valuable information about other persons, ect. Find myself
going back for bits of data that now may make sense that did not earlier. At
times, re-reading material makes the picture whole or answers questions I
had not thought of earlier. One source says my ggrandfather spoke German and
another, Bohemian. One has him from Germany, another, from Austria and a
third, Bohemia. More searching suggests he spoke both and at the time (1864)
, Bohemia was a part of Austria.
2. At this point, have no idea who or whom will take over this quest when I
am no longer able. That includes what processing system or Program like
Legacy will be in vogue or what they will have. Possibly their program will
not be able to read my files.
Know there will be wide variances of opinion and that is fine.
