For Future Reference

Some things are keepers, like historical treasures.

Sister Cannon and I lead a family history class here in SE Michigan every Tuesday evening in the Roseville Ward, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; everyone is welcome.  Genealogy is fascinating, transformative, and known as the most popular hobby in the world!

What historical treasures did your grandparents and parents keep?  What do you hang onto that is meaningful for future reference?
