One of the few loud arguments I heard from my parents as a kid was when my dad discovered my mother had thrown away a picture of her as a kid standing in front of the log cabin where she was born. He did not approve.
Some familes fight over pictures, some throw them away. Other pictures can be "complicated."
Here are some ancestors for adoption.
