Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] What to keep-what to throw away
I'm pipe in: you can also consider donating ALL of your research to the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives. While I agree with Cheri, that good documentation of where information was found is enough for individuals to trace it back, we actually like to see it all! All the birth, marriage, death records; the census printouts; the little notes with family stories! ALL of it! I will always ask if there any any family photographs that can be donated as well (I will happily make digital copies, if the family wants to retain the originals) and any other documents that speak to the family (correspondence, audio-visual, yearbooks, cards, documents created as part of a business etc). For those of you who are not familiar with the archive, you can find more information about us here: https://www.lib.umassd.edu/paa Individuals interested in donating their archive, can contact me directly.

Thanks Cheri. The kids don’t seem too interested in any of it and I do have it on my Family Tree Maker. I have a lot of shredding to docommercial shredders are too inconvenient for me.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] What to keep-what to throw away
Elaine, If you sourced you stuff, I'd throw away the sources. For example, if I said my Manuel Mello was on the 1940 census in New Bedford, Bristol Co, MA, I'd pitch the hard copy of the census. That's plenty of clues for someone to find him again. Likewise about his baptism. If I put he was born on 1 Jan 1887 in Ribeira das Tainhas, Sao Miguel island, Azores and my source was his baptism, that's enough for someone to duplicate your work and find it again. Or at least that's my opinion.
