In my own experience, in just the past four or five years, I have seen records moved and access becoming more limited. This doesn't bode well for current genealogists or for future researchers, and is a subject we cannot ignore.Family Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-48072639127296658972012-10-15T15:59:31.574-05:002012-10-15T15:59:31.574-05:00Thanks, Thomas, for the timely reminder of the eve...Thanks, Thomas, for the timely reminder of the ever-present threat to accessible records.

Thanks for bringing this topic up here on your blog. <br /><br />It has been my life's work (with many years to go, God willing) to, as you say, let "family and even strangers know why family history is so important". I believe that many of your readers will say the same. <br /><br />I hold out hope that the availability of information and resources online and the activity of genealogists within social media outlets (thanks to your urging) will be a positive force to counteract the ignorance we are seeing. I look with hope to the time "years from now" when we will have seen a turn away from the predominant mindset we see today, and we will both still be neighbors in the blogosphere.Lisa / Smallest Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811771280872197611noreply@blogger.com
