Hurricane Harvey destroyed our Mazac Family reunion notebook.
Thank God, I had already documented and recorded all of the data from it into my RootsMagic program and also entered online at familysearch.org and findagrave.com websites and blogs. I have spent thousands of hours and days recording, editing, and sharing our information.
