Disposing of all FH Records

[avm228]

Thanks for that info, smudwhisk. That's what I would like, actually, to have other researchers to be allowed to see my documents and photos, if interested. So then, the SOG it could be, but who are they? Sorry if that is a daft question. Perhaps I have just forgotten, but as a guess are they Society Of Genealogists? I am probably showing up my ignorance now, but I really cannot remember. Sorry folks 

Yes indeed they are

Thanks! It was just a guess of mine, really. I have not been to their site in all of my searches. Is that a record?! No pun intended, of course.

Yes, on reflection they are perhaps the cheapest option unlikely to go broke. Their information is extensive, and I find their fees for research as a non member to be reasonable.They also host the Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS)

Neddie and Gryppe-Pipe Thin, or Eccles and Bluebottle as well?

Possibly a family solicitor would preserve them at a very minimal or even free charge?

I have never seen free and solicitor together before

On a serious note though I doubt solicitors have much free space in their own archives and wouldn't be able to take in extra paper work on top of files they legally have to keep.

Most probably that is the case, Lemontree.

Redroger, that Guild of One Name Studies, is it really? I wonder if they are ragged a lot about it!  "GOON, But Not Forgotten".

On that issue, at a FH Fair I once asked the person on the GOONS stall if they one name studies for any of the surnames mentioned plus Sellars, She replied no Sellars, but the rest she gave me a blank look. I tried to explain realised she had never heard of the GOONSHOW, and gave up in despair. Decided the FH GOONS have no sense of humour.

But are they the right age to have heard of the goons ? It was before my time.

[Redroger]

She was either my age (now 71) older or had led a very hectic life. Maybe the problem was a lack of radio reception in the 1950s.
