How to respond to the loss of materials when a disaster strikes, as well as ways to prepare to reduce loss of your valuable research.

 

When a disaster resulted in a loss of his family records, Rod became an expert on how to recover and save one's genealogical research, an important topic for anyone who has spent the time recording their genealogy.

 

While some may know Rod Fleck from his day job as the City Attorney/Planner for the City of Forks, for years his hobby has been family history.  He received a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Washington and law degree from Seattle University.  He has given numerous presentations on tracing German family lines and how to research the military connections of ones ancestors.
