A cousin has died. His widow keeps getting news letters addressed to him upsetting her (they shared email address). I had recorded him as dead and deleted his email from his contact details. I also deleted him from site members. She still wanted the news letters but in her name. I sent an invite under her name but it arrived addressed to her late husband. This situation must arise on a regular basis so why is there not a simple or obvious fix for this? I find this embarrising and frustrating. Can any one help? Thanks.
Very many thanks for your helpful reply. I have completed the preliminary deleting steps and will complete the rest in a day or two to give the system some safety margin.
I also sympathised with an earlier post of yours about who picks up the mantle of our research when we ourselves have gone. I keep creating gedcoms which I give to my nephews and nieces (I have no chilren of my own) in the hope that they will keep and look at them and recieve "the call".
Feel free to post any problems during the step two
By the way, the GEDCOM save is, of course, a good idea. I'm practice this since I've started here many years ago. I'm completing the GEDCOM save with a photo data structure and pack this all together. This periodically generated package I'm sharing with my cousin. She is managing our private family archive. So, our work is saved in the potential estate, if we don't find any motivated successors.
