You mentioned photo, but every time we go to the flea market or antique shop my wife looks at the old quilts and says at least once: "I wonder if her granddaughter knows this lovely quilt is here." I know one case in my brothers family where his daughter received an rosary from a Aunt, when I asked if I could take a photo of it she replied she could not find it, and the kids had lost it when playing with it. It was probably over 100 years old, and may have belonged to her 4th great grandmother. (Dating it was the purpose of the photo)
