That is a great idea. ~ One of my "Winter projects" (LOL...will soon be a "Spring project" I suppose) is to go through tons of photos--many that I've taken and many I got from my Parents' house after they both passed away. Then I plan on compiling scrapbooks and generally organizing them. As Debby G. said...if there were only more hours in the day!

My childhood movies were on 8 mm film, which a videographer, videotaped onto Beta videos which soon went by the wayside. Converting to VHS, of course, lowered the quality all the more, and with VCRs going by the way, we'll soon have to convert to DVDs! But they seem to be obsoleting too. :( Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-22251960000141939632013-02-19T08:54:31.028-08:002013-02-19T08:54:31.028-08:00How wonderful to have your family history saved so...How wonderful to have your family history saved so beautifully, Sandra. I have a box of pictures from my parents, but there are so many faces I don't recognize.<br /><br />I used to take and develop myriads of photos. Now, with digital cameras, the shots are stored in my computer, which you mentioned. As technology changes, I wonder how long I'll be able to access those "old" files. I prefer hard copy. <br /><br />If only there were more hours in the day...Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-85139570755357132812013-02-19T07:46:13.228-08:002013-02-19T07:46:13.228-08:00How wonderful to have your parents story!

They gifted it to all of us, and I know there is something out there about my Mom's family, but I do not have a copy of it.<br />I have a box full of pictures of our lives, I expect I should take the time to go through them, and write a history at the same time....lolBettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645337615635154815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-88057499775672779832013-02-19T06:39:40.122-08:002013-02-19T06:39:40.122-08:00Oh, tapes of WW2 in the South Pacific.

In the next generation, my mother is going through photographs to note who is in them and where they were taken. That has inspired me to do the same with printed photographs, but you're right. So many of my pictures are digital and only a hard-drive crash away from loss. Yikes! I'm going to back them up right now.Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-809820640865118932013-02-19T06:15:33.797-08:002013-02-19T06:15:33.797-08:00Yeah, so glad I prompted you. :) It would be wonde...Yeah, so glad I prompted you. :) It would be wonderful if someone could translate your Swedish family history.

Much of it's in Swedish, though, so we can't read it LOL<br /><br />I keep meaning to write down my history for my son. You've just reminded me why.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.com
