This information is VERY important to all of us.

In short, we all should buy some archival paper and print out for storage everything we have done that will be of value at any time in the future. http://msn.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,124312,00.asp?GT1=7645 Genealogy without documentation is nothing.
