Today I spent some time in an amazing antique store in historical Anoka, Minnesota. While swimming through treasures, I continually noticed old family photos - sold, dropped off, or otherwise ending up at the antique store. TRAGIC. If you have old/new family photos, always label the backs with names and dates! Keep them for forever! Until someone truly interested comes along that you can pass them on to, in your own family. Family history is a priceless treasure.
"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning." -- Alex Haley, Roots
Below are some of the family treasures I saw at the antique store today, lost forever to the descendants of these people.
