It helps having some support as people see things differently and that can lead to a more thorough tree. It's for that reason I understand the woman who contacted me, who wants access to my tree.

My prized possession is the original 1875 army pay book of my Great Grand Father.

Things like this are pure gold!

I have a gramophone record of my grandfathers brother (a famous musician) which I value for instance, other things too. It's funny how those simple things come to mean so much. Of course, I have a lot from my grandfather as well, but nothing beyond him, except for photos of course, loads of old photos from before the turn of the century. I'm like the record keeper for my family.
