Is Someone Taking Over Your Genealogy?

Recently, my cousin Ron (2nd cousin 2x removed) and I were talking about his upcoming move, and he was telling me the new place would have room for his 4 drawers of genealogy files. Of course, that got us on to who will take over our research. He told me he didn’t have an heir-apparent, and we joked about me coming with my trailer to pick up the cabinet. I told him that I always say that if my sons throw out my genealogy, I’m going to haunt them.

So I thought I’d ask. Do you have someone that’s going to take over your genealogy? Are you able to donate it to a local archive or genealogy group, and if so, is there a certain way that they will accept it?

Please comment below. I’m looking for ideas.
