My own family's treasures were lost in the London Blitz during World War II. All I have from my deceased parents are photos taken post-war, my father's war medals (probably the most precious to me), and memories - that's why researching my Dad's family history is so important to me. I know very little about his past or his family, but GR and other sites have helped me to contact living relatives I've never known before, so now I know far more. My husband's family have kept lots of old photographs, which are fascinating to see. Some are really beautiful portrait shots, and they're very well-preserved. I also have some of his Grandmother's and Gt-Grandmother's jewellery, glassware and china, so my son will inherit those eventually, if he wants them. I hope he does, because even if he's not interested in them himself, he may have children one day, so they might be. CB >|< |
