I will say
that I often like to think of my attic as a treasure trove versus just
reflecting that I’m a pack rat. In my
case though, probably the latter more than the former is true. After all, a house built in 1993 and not
inherited from family isn’t seasoned enough to require an archaeological dig as
described in this Wiscnews.com piece, Attic archaeological dig reveals family history.
And, some
family members do live in houses which have been in the family for 100 or more
years – I bet those attics have some neat things!
If you are
thinking to engage in an archaeological dig with the intent of finding
genealogical and/or family history items, these articles might interest you:

Have you done an archaeological dig
in a family member’s attic or basement? Did you find something completely unexpected
and invaluable? If so, please share!
