Seattle Genealogical Society Tip of the Week Save your own copy
You are probably a member of a paid or free genealogy site that allows you to create a link to an image of a record of genealogical importance to you and attach it to a member in your family tree. Do not depend on the link to that image being available to you forever. It is recommended that you always download a copy of the image that is important to you; save a copy on your own media so you will always have the image for your personal use. That way, if something happens and you don’t have access to that site any longer, or the site doesn’t have access to that record set any longer, you still have a digital copy of your own.
