[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for these replies, I appreciate it. It helped me reflect on what’s most important.

I am going to go back with a scanner and save a small portion of the historical and sentimental photos and documents, And share them with my siblings and extended family members.

I will also pack up and donate things that could be useful to people in need. I’m going to allocate limited number of hours for this and just do what I can in that time.

PP.  You might be able to donate photos somewhere.  I would take all the photos if you think anyone will want to do genealogy ever.  Because unless all the names are written on them people often need to triangulate to figure out who is who.

There are genealogical places on the web where you can upload photos so that other distant family members might find them.  I've found 3 pics of relatives that way.  Ancestry.com and Familysearch.com if I recall correctly.

If you take sentimental things, think small and with good stories attached.  They are more likely to travel through time to new family owners that way.

People do often fight about dumb objects. Because of memories.  Be understanding of this and you'll go far.
