How many photos will it store? Can you add extra pages? This album could be the solution I need to get my grandmother to store our family's heritage photos!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08869855513272348366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524068016614138580.post-61234387676183077762009-05-21T06:21:47.530-07:002009-05-21T06:21:47.530-07:00My tearful case is that when I was in high school,...My tearful case is that when I was in high school, my mother and I lived with another woman, one of my mother's co-workers, in her house. Also living there, in a garage apartment, was another woman. This latter person decided one day that she wanted the storage space mom was using to store some family items, including my father's U.S. Navy service record -- his personal copy -- and other items. So she threw all of these things out, without saying a word to us! If she'd only said something, I had plenty of space in my room and would have been glad to take custody of the items. It is still a bitter pill to swallow that someone else's arrogance and thoughtlessness cost us some valuable documents.<br /><br />Another recourse for protecting and preserving your important genealogical papers and photos is to donate them to your local genealogical society. I am the historian of the Southern Genealogist's Exchange Society, and we are always glad to accept the papers of members and non-members alike. That's where mine are going. If my descendants want to access them, they'll have only to go to the SGES headquarters.<br /><br />Good post, and I am so sorry that the papers got destroyed.
