What is the one family item you wish you had? - just for a bit of fun

You could get on a boat and go see all the places where they lived for yourself

I'd like a photo of my GG grandparents and their children (with grandchildren it would be a bonus).  Earliest photos on that side of the family are post-WW2.  I don't have any photos of my G Grandfather even though he died in the 1960s.  It's the family that I feel most 'connected' to, and most of my findings have been on this branch.  They had 12 children (2 died).  I'm just dying to know what they looked like!

I wish I had the musical album full of photos of my maternal ancestors which belonged to a great aunt, after her death my mother's eldest sister inherited it.  We found out after the aunt died she'd sold it! 

I remember the album as a very young child and was fascinated by the music played when opened rather than the photos inside! My regret is not rescuing the album from the aunt

I wish I'd a photo of  my Grandads who'd both died before I was born. 
It would be terrific to see what they looked like.

Photos of my Grans would be good too, but at least I can still picture them in my mind's eye.

I wish I had a photo of my Great Uncle James. He died in Australia in 1925. I managed to find his grave, where he lived etc but no photos.

My g-g-great uncle Donald Angus Cameron's notebooks from the 1890s - which are tantalisingly referred to in a family document as "containing the oral history of the past eleven generations of our family".  Last seen sometime in the 1970s ... now disappeared into the ether along with bell bottom trousers and macrame hangings

Ooh, good question.
   the answer: either Frank's medals or some photos of my Callaghan's - at least Maria or John! I wish I could draw because I have very specific idea of what a lot of my ancestors might have looked like, and I would like to draw pictures of what I think they look like!

Oh Just one thing
Well I think it would have to be 
The Family Bible

[william james]

Hi.
My Nan's bible would be my treasure.
It sat on her sideboard for years and then when she died it went missing, and no one in the family will own up to having it.
It would solve all my problems with that side of the family.
And like i have said i don't want to keep it just read the family tree in it.
William James
