Here [see right] are images of our family photos. We couldn’t live without our ancestors!
I have so many more photos up in the loft, and have been an avid collector for years, making sure all my five aunts left me their collections, and badgering other members for any they have.
An ancient aunt showed me a bag full (kept behind the couch!) and I searched through it at home, got my husband to copy all the oldest, and returned it, asking to have them when she didn’t want them anymore.
Two days later she threw them all out! She had forgotten what I said. So thank goodness all the v. oldest were copied, including two marriage celebrations, with many relatives who I had never known or seen on other photos. I suspect this has happened many times to other people!
I just thought you might be assured that some readers have the collecting bug, thank goodness!
