Maybe that is what I should work on here........someday! I have boxes of family pictures from my husband that I have no idea who they are. And no one in his family seems to interested.

I've been wanting to do a better chart of our family tree, just haven't found what I'm looking for yet. Have everything in ancestry but would like to get it reproduced as well since family hasn't ever been able to get into that site to see it. I dug up a connection to the American Revolution - on my Dad's side which was super cool. Everyone else though immigrated so our history is overseas.MTWagginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823827748782425907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-3539698769582541562017-01-10T16:03:10.132-06:002017-01-10T16:03:10.132-06:00Whereas it's a good idea to cut down on stuff,...Whereas it's a good idea to cut down on stuff, it's a shock to actually shred something—so final!

I would love to do something like that as well. I am just starting the massive project of scanning all my photos. I ordered some special acid free containers to sort and hold them but I hope to scan them all first. I have a lifetime of photos, memories and items I hope to get organized so I don't just leave a big mess for my kids. It can all be so overwhelming!

I have a feeling that it will get harder for families to keep track of relatives even with all the new technology simply because people move around so much and most digital pictures aren't labeled and never come out of the camera except on an SD card.
