Re: retention schedule for researcher correspondence



I like Thelma's ideas about indexing.   We have, however, run into some
privacy problems.   Consequently we have a box on our form now that
says the user agrees that we may share their question and personal
information with another researcher.   Some genealogists certainly like
to know if someone else is researching a name---and we've actually
brought together distant relatives this way--but others don't want anyone
to know what they're doing.    The check box helps us in these instances.
