Next, create a back-up file on a USB Drive that you can store in a fire-proof safe or give to another member of your family not living with you. This will insure the survival of your priceless family history & photos in the event of fire, flood , or theft. Material things such as your home, furniture, & cloths can be replaced, but once your memories are lost, they are gone forever. We're all growing older every day & if we're not careful, one day soon we won't have anyone around who can answer the Family history questions. Let's act now to preserve our Family History, not just for ourselves, but for future generations!

Use well labelled photos to attach as much information & stories as possible.
