FREE DOWNLOAD: Disaster Planning for the Genealogist
Given this past week’s events in Texas related to
Hurricane Harvey, and as the storm makes its way through the American South
this weekend, it is easy to feel helpless if you and your family are not directly
impacted. In speaking with genealogy friends and colleagues, I don’t think
there is any degree of separation from this disaster: we likely all know at
least one person who has lost their home, their business and their possessions.
Besides contributing to various charities, gathering
relief supplies and volunteering, here is something you can do for yourself:
put together a disaster plan related to your genealogy and family history
research.
Download this FREE GUIDE on Disaster Planning by Melissa Barker
Melissa Barker, aka The Archive Lady,
knows all too well what can happen to important papers and artifacts as well as
data when a disaster hits. Whether it is fire, flood or simply a computer
failure, Melissa has created a guide at Legacy Family Tree entitled Disaster
Planning for the Genealogist.
Through a special arrangement with our friends at Legacy
Family Tree, Melissa wants to make sure that every genealogist has access to
this important information. That is why Disaster Planning for the Genealogist
is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD starting Thursday, August 31st through Sunday,
September 3rd, 2017. Click HERE to get your PDF
copy now!
Please take a minute not to just download the guide, but
please read it and seriously consider what would happen if you lost treasured
family heirlooms or research data related to your genealogy. You can at least
minimize damage from various disasters, if not prevent such damage all
together.
So this weekend as you keep others in Texas in your
thoughts and prayers, take a minute to do your homework and put together a
disaster plan for your genealogy.

DeleteI downloaded it twice, once on my phone and once on the laptop. I can't read either one because it's too blurry.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I am sorry that has happened, I don't have any control over the download. You might try contacted Legacy Family Tree and see if they know why that happened.
DeleteThank you very VERY much for this helpful information. I really don't want 30+ years of hard work to disappear because of a disaster--natural or man-made. So this is greatly appreciated! You're very thoughtful to extend this to genealogists everywhere free of charge. Thanks again!
