Ancestry Explained
Good morning preservers of the family legacy,
A lot of times folks ask us how to preserve their family heirlooms. Of course, our first advice is to capture a digital record of the heirloom and let’s then put that picture into Your Dancestors ancestry book, so you have it stored somewhere else. Here’s some advice from an insurance company:
