I wish I had more info from my grandparents and ancestors. I already have almost everything from my parents. My mom downsized and moved and basically said "you can have whatever you want, but if you don't want it, I'm getting rid of it." I have several boxes of stuff that I want/need to go through. I have looked at the stuff a couple/few times over the years and enjoy going through them. I've gotten rid of stuff. We don't have as much stuff as lots of folks because my dad was in the military, so we were only able to move with a certain amount of stuff. We didn't have a lifetime or multiple lifetimes of stuff. Also, we downsized about 10 years ago and got rid of a ton of stuff. There's some stuff that I wish I'd kept. There's probably some stuff that I could have gotten rid of too.

A lot of stuff that I have will not be worth anything to anyone when I die. I'm close to our kids, but they were from a previous marriage of my wife, so they don't have any sentimental value for a lot of the stuff that has value to me.
