I have little doubt that my parents never moved out of the their final house because they had the so much stuff. They kept the original box and warranty information to appliances they bought going back to the 70s. The appliance was dead and gone but the box was still there.

My brother came up and we sorted through what we wanted. The quilt that my great grandmother made for her grandmother and the had written letter she wrote and a glove she wore at her wedding is not something I could just dump. I don't have kids so I called one of my cousins that has kids and grand kids. I gave that to her and she was crying like I gave her the Holy Grail.

I still have many large boxes of family photos and old home movies from both my dads side of the family and my moms side of the family going back over 100 years. Pictures of my mom's parents when they were "courting" and pictures and great great grandparents.

I will keep trying to find a family member that wants them and can pass them on to their kids.

I scanned most of them and built a great family tree and posted the photos to Ancestry.com for all to see.
