Amy lives in San Francisco with her family and her mother, Ingrid, who is 75. In the past few years Ingrid has worried about the fate of her family history records and mementos if an earthquake or fire were to destroy Amy’s home. Amy heard about Orggit and helped Ingrid sign up for an account. Now, Ingrid and Amy have access to the account, which not only stores all Ingrid’s health and personal information, but her family history records as well. Ingrid can access and update these records as frequently as she wants to on any internet connection. Ingrid and Amy both feel safe knowing that even if an earthquake or fire were to destroy the paper copies of family history records, the information itself would always be protected and accessible.

Jack lives with his girlfriend, Annie, in an apartment in New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina, Jack has been very aware of the hurricane threat to his home. He doesn’t want to feel like his information is vulnerable to hurricane damage, so he stores copies of his passport, social security card, driver’s license, birth certificate—essentially everything—on his Orggit account. Since setting up the account he has felt more relaxed about his paper documents. He explained to Annie how easy it was to set up his account, and he plans on adding her as a separate user to his account soon.
