If you have a family heirloom or keepsake, try and determine who in the family first owned the item, how they obtained it, who made it, and how it has been passed down to the present day owner. Recording the history now is an excellent idea and searching for information about the heirloom may provide you with more genealogical information on your family. The item can be  as commonplace as grandpa’s horse collar (I have one) or as unique as a fancy piece of jewelry. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
