Disposition

If you care about the disposition of your genealogical materials, PROVIDE FOR THEM IN YOUR WILL.

Otherwise you can kiss them goodbye.

Between 1986 and 1990, Beverly Rambo had accumulated much more information about the Rambo families and was preparing to publish a revision of the Rambo Family Tree. Unfortunately, cancer was discovered, and she asked me to continue her work, but I arrived in Los Angeles the day after she died.

Her sister always said that she would send Beverly's Rambo materials to me but in fact has been a "stone wall," promising anything over the phone but doing nothing. Once this paragraph appeared on this web site, she did send a small package of copies Beverly had made of published materials amounting to 3 inches of the 22 feet of materials Beverly had possessed. I believe that the majority of Beverly's collection was destroyed when her brother moved, and I have had to compile the 2nd edition of The Rambo Family Tree without the aid of Beverly's work.

If you want your materials to survive you, PUBLISH. If you cannot publish, decide upon a "good resting place" for your genealogical materials and dictate in your will that a receipt for your materials from that "resting place" must be presented before your probate can be closed.
