How I did it: Even though I don't have children yet and therfore can't have possibly passed it down to them, I realized that I'm doing so much genealogic research and I wouldn't want to be for nothing, I will simply shift this goal to my bucket list ^^ So, the "do more genealogy research" part is probably a never ending story (although I'm on it ;), but even though if my future kids would not want to continue my work, there are still plenty of organisations, institutions, clubs etc. to which I could "donate" my research and thus make it available for others and reserve my family history.

P.S. Of course I did not take 100 years to accomplish this goal. It's supposed to be a symbolic figure that it takes a lifetime to accomplish this target ;)

Lessons & tips: Just keep researching and focus on being accurate so your successors do not have to guess what you were talking about ;)

Resources: Internet, fellow genealogy researcher, genealogy forums, libraries, archives, bureau of vital statistics, books, family, pictures, cemeteries... it's also good to be able to analyze things ^^
