Assuming that, as we are all on this site, we share this common interest. |

I have a granddaughter of 9 who has helped me with the tree for a while now if only in small ways. She is like me and her Uncle who adore anything Historical so methinks she will take it on with his help but we shall see :-). |

I don't have anyone to pass it onto - no children and one nephew (who is adopted and is not interested in locating his 'blood family' or the history of his adoptive one!) |

My son has helped me a lot, even taking me to record offices and places where our ancestors lived. I hope he will look after my research, but he is not married and does not have children so not sure after that. |

I do have a cousin on my Dad's side who is also into FH and we have shared info but She is almost the same age as me and I don't think her children are interested. |

A slight alternative to the OP - I worked for a small Insurance Company, in London & then in Devon for a total of 34 years. On average, it employed about 100 individuals at any one time. Some stayed for a short number of years while a sizable group, like myself, stuck it out through thick & thin until pension age. |

FH societies are a possibility but which one I wonder? Could be Hampshire, Devonshire, Somerset, Dorset or Derbyshire. Hmm! |

My son will probably take all my stuff, as he started it all, before it was all on line. |

Until recently I would have said that no one in my family was interested. Like Maggie they showed interest in the scandals but that was it. However my eldest son took a DNA test, bullied by his wife who was doing hers, and is now becoming interested. |
