How to start archiving family records and documents? My mum has box loads of documents from my grandparents, and their parents. There are lots of photographs, letters and other bits that are interesting as a family history. However, if these are just left in the boxes they will deteriorate, and in time just get chucked which would be a real shame. How can these documents best be archived so they can be used in the future? They need to be sorted - but how? and how to preserve them? is cross-referencing worth it? Any ideas or help would be received gratefully

Should companies be allowed to use your family health records to determine your coverage and rates? I was reading recently that insurance companies are now using family history to calculate rates and even deny coverage where they can perceive a loss or bad investment. I believe most corporate employees are protected from such scrutiny and must be allowed to join group policies except where pre-existing conditions allow the insurance company to opt out. But, self-employed or employees of say a small private school may not he able to obtain reasonably priced coverage because their Mom's dad had a heart attack, colon cancer, etc...

Genetic genealogy or Family Records? I am a filipino, with a long line of ancestors who came from different places. Both my mother and my father are filipino, but my mom tells me she has more influence from spain and my dad says he has more influence from the chinese( I know because I have the eyes while my cousins don't express the trait). I am a real amatuer at genealogy and I would like to go further to find out who I am. http://asnic.utexas.edu/asnic/countries/philippines/philippines.html (This link talks about filipinos and how we were influenced) I heard that genetic DNA tests (Genetic genealogy) is very useful for finding your roots such as Family Tree DNA The classic way of finding your origins are from Records. However, I don't think I will get that far. I live in the United States, while most of my family members live in the phillipines. I have asked them about any records and they can't help me. So what should I do if I have limited information with records, but could go further with genetic genealog

Louisa Marsh wed William Baker in Brighton Sept. 1894. They had 2 daughters, Louisa born Nov. 23rd 1897. (the other one,dont know her name). William died in Brighton in 1899. I have tried spelling the name all different ways, Backer, Bakor, Bakerr. Bacor, the list goes on all to no avail.
