This discussion is on documenting ourselves and leaving a blue print for future genealogist.  We are the era of baby boomers; we have seen and participated in a lot of history in our life time. It will take 72-years or more after our death for our family to research us and, we can leave them a blue print so that they do not have to wait to find out about us.
