As family historians, we are often the proud owners of old family photographs, Bibles, and records. Why not make a copy of a family photo or document and include it with your holiday greetings? Your family will appreciate the thoughtful gesture, and it may even jog their memories or inspire them to return the favor. An added benefit is that by sharing, you’re helping to ensure the survival of the image or document for future generations.

I’ve used this excellent idea for years now. And it does return some interesting items. Once, I received an entire diary, photocopied of course, of an aunt of whom I knew very little. It sure remedied THAT!
Happy Dae.
