Today I am recommending a post on a blog that is "new to me" - thanks, again, to Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings for bringing it to my attention.
FAMHIST: Family History Thoughts and Links is now on my MyGoogle page to check daily.
"Will My Genealogy Records Survive Me?" is a post that begins very sadly but, later on, had some excellent suggestions for each of us, all in one place. I hope you find it useful, as I did.

52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History - Week 12: Movies
52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History
Week 12: Movies
Another one "caught my fancy" ...
Thanks to GeneaBloggers and Amy Coffin of the We Tree blog for these prompts.
Week 12: Movies. Did (or do you still) see many movies? Describe your favorites. Where did you see these films? Is the theater still there, or is there something else in its place?
Movies
Movie theater in my hometown of Coon Rapids, Iowa, in the mid-1950s is long gone, of course. We were pretty regular movie-goers as teens... My wife and I dated the last year and a half of high school, so that is my first reference point. Preferred musicals - Love is a Many Splendored Thing and High Society - with the song True Love come to mind for the title/leading songs, respectively - each song played a role in out "courtship."
Later, in early days of our family - as well as 50 years later - Sound of Music is probably the all-time favorite - for the whole family! When our youngest, of three, daughters made her first trip to Europe a couple of years ago - her top priority was the Sound of Music tour in Austria - and she loved it!

Two recommendations today, each appeared about a week ago:
First,
Most of you probably follow Greta's blog closely, anyway, but if you missed this one, I wanted to be sure you didn't miss it. This was posted on the day when WDYTYA was on a repeat... very entertaining, for we fans!
Top 10 Scenes I'd Like to See on "Who Do You Think You Are?" or: "10 Scenes You'll Probably Never See on "Who Do You Think You Are?"
Second,
Dick Eastman on archiving materials... I really like this one:
The Best Way to Archive Anything: L.O.C.K.S.S.
What do you think?

I hope this blog post is not new to you, but if it is, please take the time to read it clear through. THANKS!
Genealogy Citations: Good, Better, Best by Joan Miller at Luxegen Genealogy and Family History
I especially liked this (as a former Charter Member of a Toastmasters Club in Winslow, Arizona, in the dark ages):
"I suggest using a toastmasters approach which is sharing what they are doing well, offering constructive suggestions for improvement and leaving them hopeful and wanting to help build the best research possible. We can offer suggestions that provide concrete examples for others to follow."
ALSO, be sure to see the suggestions under the titles, near the end:
Education about Genealogy Citations, and
Creating Awareness of Genealogy Citations
And, finally:
"We can lead by example. Instead of talking about this let’s DO something. Let’s make folks aware!"
