Preview:Submitting Your Family History To The SFHG
I thought that I had better introduce myself to you all. Following Mick's request in the last issue of SFH I volunteered to take on the role of the SFHG family tree co-ordinator. Although I started my working life as a research and development engineer I spent the last fifteen to twenty years of my working life in IT, part of my responsibility being IT security. I have been researching my own and my wife's family history for about 20 years and built up a considerable amount of information about my ancestors and their siblings and it goes back into the seventeenth century. The future of my research does worry me, possibly my son, who is interested in history, is likely to want to keep the information I have which includes a lot of family photographs. This has made me think about the long term future of many people's research which is why I took on this role.
